Scouting America is transitioning their Scoutbook™ software to their new ScoutbookPlus™ platform. This continues to be a good data source for many new TroopWebHost customers, and we will continue to add import functions as new export functions are added to ScoutbookPlus™.
To begin the process, you will export three files, which can then be uploaded into TroopWebHost:
- Roster Report (from ScoutbookPlus)
- Scout Advancement (from Scoutbook Plus)
- Camping, Hiking and Service Logs (from Scoutbook)
The next three pages of this User Guide show how to upload these files into TroopWebHost. Due to the lack of insternal consistency that we've seen in the ScoutBook data, the transfer may not be 100%, but it will allow you to make a faster transition to the superior capabilities of TroopWebHost.
These upload programs are:
- Upload ScoutBookPlus Roster Report. This will add all of your scouts and adult members into your TroopWebHost database, and will also generate user IDs ad passwords for each new member. It will also transfer current adult leadership positions and, for merit badge counselors, a list of the badges they support.
- Upload ScoutbookPlus Report Builder Advancement. This will transfer all current advancement information from ScoutbookPlus, including individual requirements that were signed off on ranks and merit badges.
- Upload ScoutBook Participation History. This will transfer camping nights, service hours, and hiking miles from the "Camping, Hiking and Service Logs" file.
The following import functions are still available in TroopWebHost, although it may not be possible to generate the corresponding files from Scoutbook anymore:
