Badge Manager for Cubs! Online

[eformx]

Hi Cub Leaders,

 

my name is Rob and I am a Leader in Oxford Mills, a small town outside of Ottawa Ontario, Canada. I have created a web site for the Scouting Movement Worldwide to help Leaders with the management of Badges. I welcome you to check it out at www.formthis.com. I currently have Leaders from Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, Ireland, Wales and the United States using the system.

 

Can anyone point me to a web site that has the Badges and Requirements in electronic format for the USA (MS-Word or Text file)? I have the Badges loaded but would like to add the Requirements.

 

The system has a Badge Hierarchy built-in so that a Parent and Scout can view Badges and the Requirements online. As mentioned check out the site, click Login and try the Demo account. It has Inventory control, creates Membership Cards, does not record any Personal Information, allows a Parent to transfer Badge History between Sections or transfer it to another City or State!

 

It's the most innovative Online Badge Management applicaiton available to Scouts with a few more bells and whistles coming online in the next few months.

 

Sincerely,

 

Rob (aka Baloo)

Frank Steel has put together some excellent Excel spreadsheets that cover this. Our pack uses them. They are available at http://www.geocities.com/~pack215/cub-tracker.html

Hi Everyone!

 

I have updated the online web application. When a Cub Leader assigns a Badge to a Section and then to Cubs, the Parent can view the Badge Requirements online in what I call a Badge Hierarchy! The Parent can mark that Badge Requirements are complete for their Cub and an email is automatically sent to the Leader for pro-active follow-up at the next meeting. I have posted 8 videos on YouTube which should give you a feel for the free tool.

The system has Inventory Management, builds a Shopping List, creates Keepsake Cards for the Parent/Scout, includes Cub and Scout Badges/Requirements and so much more.

 

Currently we have Leaders from Australia, Belgium, England, Ireland, Wales, Canada and the USA reducing their Volunteer time with the online tool.

 

Do you think this would be a good tool for the Boy Scouts of America web site?

 

I am thinking of offering them the software as a gift, a gift to the Scouting Movement Worldwide.

 

Who should I contact at BSA (any suggestions)?
