Requirement Monitoring and Auto-Credit
Built-in advancement monitoring and auto-credit of specific requirements saves you countless hours and helps ensure accurate data entry. We monitor a variety of advancement requirements so you don't have to. After all, isn't your time better spent with your scouts (or family) than having to manually check and credit a bunch of advancement details for your members? Put the fun back in scouting, leave the busy-work to us!
NOTE: You can view a requirements/awards that have been auto-credited for your members through the File>View Log option on your site. Auto-credited items will be listed here along with any entries manually entered by your unit leaders/members. This really highlights the time-savings aspect of this feature in our system allowing you to see everything that we are checking and crediting for your members in the background.
