Scout Book
T153 YPT Presentation.pptxWhat is Scout Book?
Scoutbook is a website where Scouts and their parents can check our calendar and RSVP for events, and track a Scout's advancement progress.Â
(We also encourage the boys to continue to use their physical Scout Handbook but use Scout Book as a backup.)
Scout Book Resources
Here is an introductory video: Scoutbook for Parents.
This video covers Logging Rank Requirements and Advancements.
Here is a helpful website put together by another troop for more info: Troop 49's Scoutbook Website .
Here is the recording of Mrs. Blake's 1/19/22 overview of YPT and Scoutbook: https://wcupa.zoom.us/rec/share/COZQ6kKRKtbsNSjkJAqhhZXukOQM_P05JfKa6TvU8C9QR1gM3JMVEV16STaE8hbK.HIxhTWc26HwfYByl (Passcode: v+^4*GkP)

What you/your son should use in Scoutbook:
the calendar: RSVP yes or no to events and meetings
track your hours in the camping, hiking, and service logs
record your leadership positions
note your AHMR (medical record) dates for Parts A/B and Part C
You can also track advancement progress (MB and rank requirements), though generally it's the leaders that handle this.
Note: We do not currently use the Payments Log, Troop Forum, or Send Messages functions of Scoutbook.
