Scoutmaster’s choice
Scoutmaster here. This is a newer app, so don’t be alarmed by the number of reviews. This is precisely the tool I’ve long waiting for. This is a tool that our scouts and their parents now use for day-to-day coordination. Think of it as a practical overlay for Scoutbook plus. It’s built for mobile first operation which is great for the scouts, though I do most of my activity from the Web version. This app has fixed fundamental problems we had with event sign up, communications, payment tracking, and advancement tracking. I highly recommend this app to units looking for modern tools to manage an increasingly complex scouting program.

Must have for scouting
This is a much-needed app for scouting! App developers are responsive and provide actual customer service.
Major Improvement
My troop has been using a website for years, I’m not even sure how good this app is yet, but just by merit of how much better it is than that website, I’m giving it five starts
Simply Incredible!
Troop Campfire is an incredible tool for our Scouting organization!
My favorite feature is the automatic syncing with Scoutbook. Couldn't have been easier to set up our whole troop. Merit badges, awards, and membership information update without the hassle of importing or exporting CSV files. Both the mobile app and website are clean, intuitive, and extremely easy to navigate. Scouts, parents, and leaders can quickly track progress in ranks and merit badges.
The entire platform has a appealing appearance. The calendar is easy to use and well designed. Easily syncs with a troop google calendar or you own personal calendar. There is built-in group messaging and email features that eliminate the need for a separate communication app.
Scout accounts are grouped by family so families can see their total balance at a glance. No more adding individual account balances together or juggling funds between accounts! Individual scout transactions are still visible in the family account. The financial tools are also very treasurer-friendly. Transactions are easy to input and has abilities like automatic transactions for events such as campouts.
Most of all, the customer service has been outstanding! Every question I have asked has been answered within a day and my suggestions for future features have always been welcomed. There seems to be improvements all the time.
Top notch communication!

Everything In One Place
Campfire has been a big help for our troop. It has mostly replaced multiple services we previously used (calendar, photo sharing, sign up). Since the app enforces safe scouting practices it has also created the opportunity for younger scouts to take more responsibility for their partition by RSVPing for events and communicating with leaders. The developer has also been super helpful when we have questions.
