CarlosD 10 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Our troop is in the process of switching from Troopmaster to Scoutbook. We would also like to have a stand-alone website that could serve as a front-end for Scoutbook (similar to TM), that would also be able to access cloud storage for documents and photos. Am wondering how you integrate Scoutbook with a stand-alone troop website. Thanks, Carlos Link to post Share on other sites
njdrt-rdr 39 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I'd be curious to know how this goes. We have not switched yet because troop master has the offline app. Link to post Share on other sites
ParkMan 1293 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Similar story here. I looked at going to Scoutbook - but found that the online version of Troopmaster better fit what we needed. It cost us something like a dollar per scout per year so I didn't even think twice about it. But, if you switch I'd love to hear how it goes for you Link to post Share on other sites
ham_solo 23 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) The old internet advancement system had a API that other people could use to do automated data, import/export syncs with. The new Scoutbook system has no such API and all 3rd party interfaces with BSA no longer exist. It is pretty obvious at this point that BSA wants Scoutbook to remain 100% proprietary, and take away any options of interfacing advancement data with and 3rd party tools or websites. To the BSA, you should be using Scoutbook or nothing, even though Scoutbook pales in comparison to many other systems such as Troopmaster, Trooptrack etc. Edited March 9, 2020 by ham_solo Link to post Share on other sites
