Everything you need to run a Scouting unit — in one app. What2Pack is the all-in-one toolkit built for Scoutmasters, Cubmasters, committee chairs, and anyone helping run a troop, pack, crew, or ship. Roster, calendar, inventory, meal planning, duty rosters, ride sharing, attendance — all in one place, all on your phone. WHY SCOUTERS LOVE IT Running a unit means juggling a dozen apps, three spreadsheets, a paper roster, and a clipboard that lives in someone's car. What2Pack pulls it all into one place — so you spend less time on logistics and more time actually Scouting. YOUR ROSTER, ORGANIZED - Complete troop rosters with Scout and adult leader info - Patrol assignments and leadership positions - Quick lookup for contacts, parents, and emergency info EVENT CALENDAR THAT ACTUALLY WORKS - Track campouts, weekly meetings, courts of honor, service projects, and district events - See your full unit calendar at a glance - Never miss a planning detail again MEAL PLANNING & SHOPPING LISTS - Build patrol menus and scale recipes to your headcount - Scan family recipes with OCR — no retyping - Smart shopping lists with Kroger product matching - Save and reuse menus campout after campout - Browse a built-in cookbook of camp-tested recipes GEAR & INVENTORY MANAGEMENT - Track every tent, stove, dutch oven, and patrol box your unit owns - Scan equipment number tags for fast check-in and check-out - Know what's packed, what's missing, and what needs replacing - No more "wait, who has the lantern?" at 11 PM DUTY ROSTERS, BUILT BY THE SCOUTS - Let Scouts build their own patrol duty rosters - Cooking, cleanup, fire, water — assigned and visible to everyone - Reinforces leadership and ownership at the patrol level RIDE SHARING - Coordinate transportation for campouts and events - Match drivers with riders without the group-text chaos - Keep parents in the loop MEETING ATTENDANCE - Take and track attendance at weekly meetings - Build advancement and award eligibility off real participation data - Spot trends and help re-engage Scouts who are drifting GAMES - Campfire!, a human moderated game with TV presenter mode for that big screen experience - What Izit?, a scouting knowledge game for this long waits at the bathhouse or rainy times under the tarps BUILT FOR THE WAY UNITS ACTUALLY OPERATE - Designed by an active Scoutmaster who got tired of duct-taping six tools together - Works the way your unit already runs meetings and campouts - Patrol-method friendly — built around how Scouts actually self-organize WHO IT'S FOR Scoutmasters, Cubmasters, Crew Advisors, Skippers, committee chairs, troop quartermasters, patrol leaders, SPLs, OA event planners, and any Scouter who'd rather lead Scouts than wrangle spreadsheets. GET STARTED Download What2Pack, set up your unit, and start moving your roster, calendar, and gear list into one place. Within a week, you'll wonder how you ran your unit without it. What2Pack is built by a Scouter, for Scouters. Feedback, feature requests, and camp stories always welcome.
