Help / Getting started

Start your troop

Create your account, start the troop, and become its first admin.

For: First admin

Starting a troop makes two things at once: the troop, and your admin access to it. You get 30 days free; after that it's $125 a year for the whole troop.

Go to the sign-in page and choose Create an account (email and password, or Google).
Start a troop: enter the troop number and city.
Enter your Youth Protection Training (YPT) expiration date. Leaders without current YPT can't see private details about Scouts.
Set up two-step sign-in the first time you open Leader tools (see Two-step sign-in).

Tip: Open Leader tools → Overview right away. Its checklist shows what's left to set up.
