SeattlePioneer 144 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I'm a Unit Commissioner for a pack. A new leader in the pack is interested in converting the pack over to using a commercial pack software package. This pack has sixty or so boys these days, and that is probably overdue. He asked for recommendations, but I don't have experience with this kind of product. Who can offer up their experience using this kind of software? Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle92 110 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 We use Packmaster and like it. Link to post Share on other sites
DLChris71 10 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Our pack uses Packmaster, not sure about the full functionality as I only have den leader access, but it seems stable and gets the job done and we can access it through the internet. I'd like to hear about other software's though also. Link to post Share on other sites
fred8033 1599 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 PackMaster is a good solution, but I'd look for one that gives you an online presence too. The following are both good options. http://www.soarol.com https://trooptrack.com http://scouttrack.com(This message has been edited by fred8033) Link to post Share on other sites
ZScout5 12 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Scouttrack has worked very well for us and has an easy to use interface. This is especially important for packs since there is faster turnover of volunteers. Link to post Share on other sites
ScoutNut 147 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I am a big fan of ScoutManage. Link to post Share on other sites
kari_cardi 10 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 We've used ScoutTrack and ScoutManage. Both have good points and bad. ScoutTrack seems to be easier for leaders to learn and use. ScoutManage has a more attractive appearance and more versatility. Both are clunky for emails. I don't like that ScoutManage requires registration with a separate website to communicate with the support staff. Link to post Share on other sites
Jeffrey H 25 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Packmaster. I'm the CM and have full access to scouts, leaders, reports, advancement tracking, etc. I'm happy with the program. I'm sure there are other products that work just as well but cannot comment on them. We pay extra for Packmaster "Dot Net" to provide access to multiple users and limit their security access based on their roles within the Pack (i.e., tiger den leader has access to tiger den only).

perdidochas 658 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'm with Jeffrey. Packmaster with dotnet access works quite well. Link to post Share on other sites
