Trooper

Trooper keeps a scout troop's roster and event calendar in one place. Leaders post campouts, meetings and service projects. Families reply once for everybody they look after.

Sign in

Trooper is invite only. A troop leader adds you, and you get an email saying so. After that you sign in with that Google account.

What it does

• Event calendar Every troop event in one list: when, where, who it is for, what it costs and who to ask.
• Replies for the whole family A parent answers for themselves and each of their scouts in one pass. The home page shows which events still need an answer.
• Limits and waiting lists Events can cap scouts and adults separately. After the deadline, families can still ask for a place, and leaders approve or decline.
• Roster and patrols Members, parents and patrols are kept together, so leaders can see who has answered and who to follow up with.
• Email announcements Publishing an event emails the people it is for. Anybody can turn troop email off from the link in the footer.
• Calendar subscription Published events go onto the troop's own calendar. Subscribe from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook.

Who it is for

Scout troops and packs, run by their volunteer leaders. Each troop's roster and events are visible only to that troop's members. Youth accounts are created by an adult leader, never by the child.

How Trooper uses your Google account

Trooper uses Google only to sign you in. It asks for your name and email address (the openid, email and profile scopes) and uses them to match you to the account your troop created. It has no access to your Gmail, Drive, Calendar or contacts, and it never sells or shares your data. The privacy policy has the details.
