I've been using PackMaster for tracking pretty much all of the above for the past couple of years and find it very easy and very comprehensive. It's simple to define "special" awards (like a Spring Hike Patch for instance), it's easy to award group credit, it has all sorts of handy things that can be generated - den lists (including den leader and phone #s), advancement lists by den, etc. etc. etc. It can even deal with rechartering the Pack!

Packmaster is a very good program!

 

To use it to its full potential, you should get all of your leaders onboard with it. Data entry is the key to making any of these programs work for you. So make sure that someone takes the lead and diligently does the data entry.

 

The additional benefit of Packmaster is that your Council can give you a download from Scoutnet with much of the data for your Pack. At least this way youre not starting from scratch. It took my Council a sew attempts are getting the format right, but it was worth the extra work.
