### 2/5 — Great app, needs updated

*2026-03-24, version 6.0.1*

As an assistant scoutmaster I use this app constantly, however it is in need of updating, especially the merit badge requirements.

### 3/5 — Not up to date

*2025-03-13, version 6.0.1*

This app Ned’s to be updated to the latest rank requirements and include new merit badges

### 2/5 — Great concept, but falls short

*2023-01-15, version 5.3.2*

I was excited to see this app and quickly downloaded it. While the merit badge lists and requirements work very well, the rank requirements cause the app to crash when opening. Very frustrating and disappointing.

### 2/5 — Crashes when clicking anything

*2022-12-31, version 5.3.2*

It would be an amazing app only if it didn’t crash anytime you try and mark something off but it would be so helpful if they could fix it.

### 2/5 — Lots of crashing

*2022-11-14, version 5.3.2*

I have had the app all of 10 minutes and it has closed out on me 4 times already- Twice when trying to look at rank requirements and twice when trying to log in camping trips!  Great looking app if the bugs can be fixed.

### 1/5 — App still crashes

*2022-09-16, version 5.3.2*

Did not want to leave stars, but only way to write reviews and post is to rate 1 star!!!  Unable to get past main screen. Try to open past main screen on any link and the app just crashes no matter what you do.  I have reset the app. I have deleted and reinstalled the app and it still does the same thing. Open app, choose a link; try to open and it crashes…. Each time not once or twice. But every time….   Wanted to give zero stars but had to choose least 1 to leave review…

### 1/5 — Please fix app.

*2022-06-08, version 5.3.2*

Great app, but unfortunately it keeps crashing, making it useless.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2022-04-13, version 5.3.2*

It’s an awsome idea but it crashes constantly

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2022-03-01, version 5.3.2*

Can not use!  Constantly crashes!

### 1/5 — Used to be great, now just crashes

*2021-12-19, version 5.3.2*

Hasn’t been updated in over 4 years. Developer must have move on to something else. This used to be a great ap. It just crashes now. Not worth the space in memory.

### 2/5 — A star comes down from heaven to hover above my head.

*2021-10-15, version 5.3.2*

The star said, “Don’t taint gods creature with man’s hand”. I don’t approve of the patch art on the entrepreneur merit badge.  A star did come down from heaven to hover over my right ear and it had nothing to do with entrepreneurship or business.  That is my star and no one can take it from me.  Not dad, mom, brother, or sister.  Not scoutmaster, not troop leader, and not den chief.  I am a Boy Scout and bsa needs to respect that.  To the council…. Chadwick Allen Austin Muscovalley. Cimmaron council 1981-1989.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2021-09-29, version 5.3.2*

Crashes anytime I open Tank Requirements in Star. Makes it useless.

### 2/5 — Perfect idea, terrible execution

*2021-09-18, version 5.3.2*

I loved this idea of the app. I have been in scouting forever, and this would have come in handy later on. Fix the crashing, and it will be 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing

*2021-08-10, version 5.3.2*

This app was very handy until recently. Any time I try to edit or add info it closes out. I have deleted and re-downloaded, still crashes. Hope they address this soon!

### 1/5 — Crashes when trying to add a scout!!

*2021-07-26, version 5.3.2*

When I try to add my son as a scout it crashes!!! I love the idea of this app but it’s worthless because of crashing!!

### 1/5 — Crashed immediately

*2021-07-05, version 5.3.2*

I opened, clicked on Tenderfoot, and it crashed immediately. Over and over again. What a shame.

### 2/5 — Bad Product

*2021-07-03, version 5.3.2*

I tried to use it but it kept kicking me out of the app and not saving my info. Would not recommend.

### 2/5 — Great Idea, Bad Performance

*2021-06-17, version 5.3.2*

I have downloaded this app twice and right when you choose Rank Requirements it crashes. Needs REAL improvement.

### 1/5 — Uuu

*2025-02-10, version 6.0.1*

It’s crashing like crazy and it isn’t up to date

### 1/5 — Confused

*2023-08-19, version 5.3.2*

All the app does is crash

### 1/5 — Crashes at Onset

*2023-07-27, version 5.3.2*

Trying to start its use but even trying to type the scout’s name gets it to crash 🤦🏽‍♀️

### 1/5 — Can’t even try

*2023-06-12, version 5.3.2*

Can’t even try out the app because it crashes the minute I pick something.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2023-05-05, version 5.3.2*

Can’t even look at requirements. Use the official scout website it doesn’t crash. Use any app or website other than this. 
0/10.  DON’T RECOMMEND!

### 1/5 — Path to Eagle

*2023-02-07, version 5.3.2*

The app closes itself when trying to use some features.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2023-02-02, version 5.3.2*

Fix your app.  It will not allow you to do anything.

### 1/5 — Please fix this app. It keeps crashing.

*2022-12-30, version 5.3.2*

Please fix ASAP

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2022-11-17, version 5.3.2*

The app used to be great and work all the time but now anytime you try and open something it crashes. What happened BSA? I thought we were always prepared and the app has not been updated in 5 years! Very sad to see it like this with no fix.

### 1/5 — You’ve gotta be kidding me

*2022-10-05, version 5.3.2*

App crashes as soon as you try to open the “ranks” section. The app called “ScoutChamp” serves the same purpose as this one, but that one actually works!

### 5/5 — I’m so sigma

*2024-07-30, version 6.0.1*

… Baby, this love
I'll never let it die
Can't be touched by no one
I'd like to see 'em try
… I'm a mad man for your touch, girl, I've lost control
I'm gonna make this last forever, don't tell me it's impossible
… 'Cause I love you for infinity (oh-oh-oh)
I love you for infinity (oh-oh-oh)
'Cause I love you for infinity (oh-oh-oh)
I love you for infinity (oh-oh-oh)
… Oh, darling, my soul
You know it aches for yours
And you've been filling this hole
Since you were born, oh
… 'Cause you're the reason I believe in fate, you're my paradise
And I'll do anything to be your love or be your sacrifice
… 'Cause I love you for infinity (oh-oh-oh)
I love you for infinity (oh-oh-oh)
'Cause I love you for infinity (oh-oh-oh)
I love you for infinity (yeah-eh, oh-oh-oh)
… Meet me at the bottom of the ocean
… Where the time is frozen
Where all the universe is open
Love isn't random, we are chosen
And we could wear the same crown
Keep slowing your heart down
We are the gods now
… 'Cause I love you for infinity (oh-oh-oh)
I love you for infinity (oh-oh-oh)
'Cause I love you for infinity (oh-oh-oh)
I love you for infinity (oh-oh-oh)

*2018-07-13*

I joined early in the game but I didn’t really care for scouting until I was 15, I was first class I believe but this app has helped me keep track of everything and now I’m almost an Eagle Scout at 16, all I need left is to finish personal fitness and my project and review. This really did help a lot and I can’t thank the creator enough!
