TroopTrack
When a Scout joins Troop 1, an account is created for that Scout and his family on TroopTrack, a software platform that helps us manage the troop’s activities, members and records. TroopTrack also allows you to track your Scout’s advancement through ranks and merit badges. TroopTrack can be accessed through your web browser or with Android and Apple apps.
