Paracord helps Scout leaders log activity sessions and track the evidence needed to maintain a Permit without the spreadsheet juggling. ALREADY HAVE A LOGBOOK? Import your existing history straight from a CSV spreadsheet export instead of typing in years of sessions by hand. Just pick an activity, upload your file, and Paracord fills in the rest. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Log sessions against a real Permit, not just a diary Activity-specific detail where it counts like terrain grading (T0/T1/T2) for Hillwalking See at a glance how much evidence you've built up for each Permit BUILT FOR HOW LEADERS ACTUALLY WORK Works whether you're in a signal blackspot on the hill or back home filling in the gaps Share a completed session with another leader running the same activity, so it's not logged twice Export a branded PDF pack ready for a permit assessor Paracord is free to get started, with an optional Pro upgrade for leaders running multiple groups or activities. Pro is offered as an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or annual); payment is charged to your Apple ID account and subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings.
