It lets you see the requirements, and you can log service hours, camping nights, and more. The only reason that I am not giving the app 5 stars is that you must make a one-time payment of $9.99 to mark requirements off the checklist. I think that it is worth it though. ### 4/5 — Awesome! *2019-11-18, version 1.6.3* I got this app hoping it could help me keep track of my scouting achievements in an organized manner. This totally did that for me. I can easily submit my camping nights, events, etc. Although you have to pay $10.00 to log your stuff, it is a one time pay which is way better than monthly and the subscription lasts all the way to eagle. Awesome! The perfect app, especially for a non tech savvy like me. It is kind of annoying that you have to push the button like 300 times to check off a requirement ### 2/5 — App changed *2019-08-17* I loved the app until an update was made. I track two of my own scouts, I was able to check requirements off, track badges, camping, service, and leadership. Now after the update in order to track anything I have to upgrade. I’ll use the scoutbook app now since it doesn’t cost money, tracks easier, and syncs to BSA. ### 2/5 — Good app but ... *2019-06-26* The app is good but seriously needs an update. Also I can’t contact the developer because the link is down. Consider waiting to get this app until there is an update that reflects the new Scouting requirements. ### 4/5 — Great app *2017-09-30* Great for tracking multiple scouts! Has every merit badge requirement and every rank requirement. Tracks camping, service etc. online backup included. Almost 5 stars with minor tweaking I would give it a perfect 5! ### 1/5 — Needs to be updated for 2017 *2017-08-28, version 1.6.3* It looks like it's been quite a while since the developer released updates. Lots of requirements have changed as of 1-1-2027, like pioneering merit badge. I bought the app with the understanding that it would be kept up to date, so it's a bummer to have to use other resources to check. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2017-08-23, version 1.6.3* Paid for this app. Got a new phone. I can't remember my password and have no way to recover it and there is no support for this app. Disappointing to say the least. ### 1/5 — Won't sync *2017-07-18, version 1.6.3* My dad bought the pro version and it just won't sync to my phone too, horrible $10 spent ### 4/5 — Nice app for Scouts *2017-06-27, version 1.6.3* A great overall app. Just wish I didn't have to type in every single date. ### 1/5 — Loved at first *2017-06-11, version 1.6.3* Loved it at first, then the app wanted me to pay money ### 1/5 — Entered 3 times, paid for app, still have nothing plus no tech support *2017-05-17* At first I loved this app, but now wish I had never paid for it. When I was using it free, I had to enter stuff in 3 times because I kept losing info. Because I liked it so much, I paid $9.95 thinking I wouldn't have any other problems & my son could log in & keep up as well. That did not work! I have lost all data, doesn't recognize my account and I have spent 6 months trying to get in touch with someone to help me retrieve my account. I am a scout leader & I know the 3 things left my son needs to Eagle & just wish I never recommended this app to parents. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Shouldn’t have made a complete pay to use *2020-04-21* Before I was able to just check off requirements like normal and now I can’t keep track of my progress without paying a moronic $10 to unlock pro whoever did this needs a swift kick to the danglies ### 1/5 — Annoying *2020-02-13, version 1.6.3* Was good but then had to upgrade to pro to check of requirement Complete annoyance will be deleting right after review ### 1/5 — Took my money... no longer active *2019-09-23* So I used this app with my son this summer. I purchased the upgrade for $9.99 and I wanted to put on my son’s ipad but I can’t reset my password to do this bc the company is no longer in business. The app developer Kesler Tanner needs to contact me. I’m not happy about being ripped off! ### 1/5 — Very disappointed. *2018-12-08* This has to deal with apple and the developer. As how can apple leave this application on the system with no developer support. The support website brings you to a department store. This is quite unfair to the consumer. Either the developer or apple should refund everyone’s money. ### 1/5 — Appears to be abandoned *2018-10-23, version 1.6.3* So the last update was over a year ago. Seems unlikely that there has been opportunities to make updates since then. I also sent the developer a support question about a month ago....... nothing! ### 1/5 — Was a good app *2018-08-20, version 1.6.3* This was a great app to help keep track of requirements but seems to be no longer working. No way to get support. As an assistant scoutmaster I recommend looking for another app to help with your scouting journey. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2018-08-04, version 1.6.3* The only way to actually use this app you need to buy the pro version ### 1/5 — Great App at one time, now stinks! *2018-08-02* I’ve used this app since March 2017. So far it has been great to track my son’s progress, and to look up requirements for ranks and Merit Badges. However, it has now lost support, and switching to a new phone, I’ve lost all my data and can’t back it up. When trying to restore to the “premium version” from cloud download, it’s not allowing that to happen. Sad, truly sad, that there is no support for this app. I also wish I had not recommend it to others in 2017. ### 1/5 — No longer supported *2018-04-15* This was a very helpful app to keep track of scouting activities until the developer made anything requiring a check off part of the premium version. Have tried to purchase the app to unlock those features but link has not been working for months and no response. Was a useful tool, now its useless. ### 1/5 — Not worth Pro Version *2017-11-15* It’s a great app! However I have been using it for a few weeks for my scouts to keep track of there requirements that they passed off. Now it will not allow me to mark off requirements unless I pay $10 for the pro version. That’s all I use it for, so it’s crap that it is now not allowing me to use it. Don’t waste your money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love This App!! *2019-09-21, version 1.6.3* Would recommend to any scout! Great job scout app!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-07-25* I have 4 scouts and keeping track of their merit badges and ranks can get pretty daunting I was able to sort through and get their stuff on track even helps keep the partial merit badges accessible and easy to remember so my scouts can get them done ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2019-06-04* I really enjoyed this May consider buying pro I myself am a scout and is happy I can track requirements on my phone I rate this a 10/10 ### 5/5 — Great Work!! *2019-02-14, version 1.6.3* Love this app! Would love to see this available as an Android app also. ### 5/5 — I love it!!! *2018-08-16* Even though it has a glitch in checking completed items. It's a great way to keep up with progress. I do wish that they would keep on track with updating the merit badges to the fact that they are being updated constantly ### 5/5 — Conner *2018-05-31, version 1.6.3* Yes it would work with ### 5/5 — GREAT APP! *2017-11-27, version 1.6.3* I use this all the time and I love it. A great way to keep up with requirements. Go to scout app. Hoooooray!🥇👌🏻😁🤩😝 ### 5/5 — Great App/Purchase *2017-06-26* This is a very helpful and convenient app. It is only a 30 day trail before you have to pay the $10, but I thought that was fine and I just paid the $10. I have myself and my brother on it and it is extremely helpful for us. I would recommend this for any Boy Scout. ### 5/5 — Awesome App!!! *2017-06-21* This app is amazing! I'm a Boy Scout and I find this app very helpful. I can keep track of the the campouts I went on, awards I earned, and what services I participated in. Instead of looking up Merit badges online, I can go on this app and also see it's requirements. This app also shows my status and what rank I'm in. I can talk more about this app, but then this review would be too long. Thank you to the makers of this app! ### 5/5 — Super helpful *2017-04-20* We are finding this app super helpful. I was lost in the scouting program. His has simplified it for me a ton! Thank you --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
