Troop Campfire vs D

Scout Troop & Pack Management — Everything in One App Troop Campfire is the all-in-one management app for Scouting units. Plan events, message families, track advancement, collect dues, and keep health forms current — from your phone, your tablet, or any web browser. Built for Scouts BSA troops, Cub Scout packs, Venturing crews and Sea Scout ships, each with the right ranks, adventures and awards for its program. Girl Scout troops and other youth groups are supported too. Already using Scoutbook?
