BadgeTracker is a hosted web application developed to help Boy Scout camps with the hassle of merit badge and activity registration. Troop leader's list merit badge registration at the top of their list when asked "what is the biggest hassle of organizing your troop's trip to scout camp?" Merit badge registration is a tedious process which typically involves the following:

  1. Scout picks activities from master schedule and submits them to leader.
  2. Leader submits all scouts requests to camp (typically on paper or in an e-mail).
  3. Camp validates each campers schedule for class availability and pre-requisites (usually by hand).
  4. Camp returns results to leader with corrections and flagged problems.
  5. Leader returns problems to scouts...
  6. And the process begins all over again.

Simplify your camp's merit badge registration process by using BadgeTracker. All you have to do is enter your camps activities and when they are offered, enter your troops attending camp, and your off. Troop leaders can then log into your camps program and register their scouts for activities effortlessly (24/7 from any internet connection). The program does all the validation as to class availability, class size, making sure the camper meets the class's pre-requisites, and other checks automatically freeing up valuable council staff or volunteer time for other things. BadgeTracker revolutionizes your camps merit badge registration process from a four month pain to a four week pleasure.

  • What is a hosted web application?
    A hosted application is one where hosting is included in the price you pay for the service. This means that BadgeTracker isn't available for purchase on CD or download. When you subscribe you will receive a year of hosting for your program and a custom sub-domain to access your program with. This allows you to enjoy all the benefits of the program without any of the hassels of installation, maintenance and up keep.
  • What about privacy, security, and confidentiality?
    Privacy and security of your camp's and troop's information is our number one priority. BadgeTracker doesn't require any sensitive information in order to function. The only information needed for registration is name, age, and rank. Regardless of the information being gathered, BadgeTracker is installed on servers that are protected by industry standard firewall protection and any sensitive information that is stored in our database is encrypted.
