Thanks for your thoughts. I'm a wee bit frustrated that we aren't jumping into online tracking. I've set my first deadline for advancement before the pack meeting so I'll get a stab at this for the first time. Still haven't decided whether to use an excel spreadsheet or pen/paper pdf. Will review everyone's suggestions over the weekend and get my act together!

TrainerLady - Thanks for the great tips! I'm anxious to use an shared internet database so I'm going to keep working on the group. I have started playing around with ScoutNet. I appreciate your help! ScoutNut - Thanks for the great links! As much as it pains me to think about hard copying everything, I may have to go that route for now... Thanks! Greaves - Emails.... Printed out emails are the only trail I have so far. Will definitely keep using the email method for now! Mark - How weird is that? I have no idea how that happened, but I think I fixed it. I was wondering why I wasn't receiving any emails!

I'm a new advancement coordinator for a growing cub scout pack of at least 40 kids (maybe more?) The only thing I was given were a printout of a few old emails from den leaders regarding previous advancement. I've been researching an online program that will help us organize the pack and I think something like scouttrack might work. My pack leadership group is too overwhelmed to have the time to consider something like this right now. What can I use in the meantime that can be uploadable to an online program when the pack is ready to consider this option? I desperately need to get something organized for myself and the pack. Do I need to depend solely on excel spreadsheets or is there something else workable? Thanks!
