KoreaScouter Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 OK, here's the problem. Troop Record Book pages don't line up. They only have room for 42 Scouts. Shuffle patrols, or get adds/drops, and your book's a mess. I need help; does anyone know of an excel spreadsheet-thing that clones the TRB, especially the attendance pages? Please don't tell me TroopMaster. We use it, but not to take meeting attendance and I don't lug a computer on every outing. KS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eamonn Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Sorry KS I can't help with the paper work. Back in the day I had the APL turn the attendance records from the patrol into the troop scribe.This was turned in at the PLC meetings.

FScouter Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Gee, I thought I was the only one with that problem. I waited for the next printing, expecting that the printer would get it right, but no. The record book is a great idea, but the sloppy bindery job makes it unworkable. I use Troopmaster now, and print individual pages to carry around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoreaScouter Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 I actually had to draw arrows on the pages so the Troop Scribe could line the names up with the boxes -- they're that skewed. Maybe I need to dig into the TM utilities a little more than I have; if I can print a few sheets of paper that'll do the same thing as the TRB, that might solve my problem.

John-in-KC Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Go to school supply store. Get teacher's record book. Make Scribe keep attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoreaScouter Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 You know what, I did get back into TM, and there's general purpose forms that print out with all the names, organized by patrol. Just what I needed! KS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoutldr Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 If it's any consolation, the same problem existed back in 1967 when I was a Troop Scribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
