Everything a modern Scouting troop runs on — roster, advancement, events, money, gear, and communication — in one fast, phone-friendly place. Built to do the jobs Scoutbook does slowly, basically, or not at all — while still feeding Scouting America the official records it needs.
Median server response for the dashboard — TroopPlanner from its automated nightly load test, Scoutbook from a real advancements.scouting.org session. Measured the same way: time for the server to return the page's data.
Every card is something a leader touches often — and where TroopPlanner is a clear step up from the Scoutbook experience.
The deepest module in the app, built around the entries you actually make.
In Scoutbook: its one mass option marks every selected scout as passing the same requirement — all-or-nothing.
A calendar people can respond to — and that keeps your records straight.
In Scoutbook Plus: RSVP works, but only for invited members signed in — no magic-link or guest RSVP, and no carpool.
A full family-account ledger — and every dollar a family pays reaches the troop.
In Scoutbook Plus: a manual payment log, and online payments run through the troop's own Stripe account — so every card payment carries a processing fee.
The outdoor logistics that live in binders today, in one place.
In Scoutbook Plus: no gear tracking and no trip planning — it's all off-platform.
Reach families the right way, with youth-safety rules built in.
In Scoutbook Plus: email only, individual recipients, and no newsletter builder.
The information leaders keep asking for, one click from the page you're on.
In Scoutbook: reporting is thin and exports are notoriously limited.
Measured against the current Scoutbook Plus — not the old one.
And yes — we have dark mode. You're looking at it. 🌙
