Family Tools

The Scouting mobile app allows families to track and log their Cub Scout's adventures and advancement, as well as logging service hours, hiking, and camping.  The app syncronizes advancement data with Scoutbook and activity logs with Internet Advancement for viewing regardless of whether you have a current internet connection.  Once downloaded, use your Scoutbook credentials to login. If you don’t have a Scoutbook account yet, visit scoutbook.scouting.org to create one.  Click on the red app icon on this page for more information about the Scouting app, or use the app store buttons to download the app to your mobile device.

To streamline communications, Cub Scout Pack 167 has created a Community on the WhatsApp messaging platform.  This functions much like a group text, but allows leaders and families to participate in the groups that are relevant to them without the need to start a new group text every time a member of the group joins or departs. There are groups for each den as well as a Parents General Discussion group for the entire Pack.  In addition, there is an announcements channel that allows Pack Leaders to send broadcasts such as event updates to the entire Pack.  As of the 2024-25 Program Year, this is an official communications channel for Pack Communications and those who do not participate may miss important communications.

During the unit's annual popcorn fundraiser, the Trail's End mobile app allows families to track their Cub Scout's popcorn sales, inventory, and rewards, register for available storefront shifts arranged by the Pack, process credit card transactions while conducting storefront and door-to-door sales, and manage their Cub Scout's personal fundraising webpage.
