Tools for Scouting

Practical web tools for Scout volunteers

Built by a Scout volunteer, for Scout volunteers — tools that cut the admin so you can spend more time on the programme.

Our tools

Four tools that work on their own, and work better together. One login covers all of them, and each has a free tier you can run a whole camp or a whole hall on.

Camp Planner

Live

Everything a Scout camp needs planning, in one place and shared with your leader team — so the plan doesn't live in one person's head and three spreadsheets.

Roster and attendees
Young people and adults, with capacity limits and a waitlist that fills places as they free up.
Health, dietary and consent
Parents fill in their own child's details through a link. Medical notes stay locked to leaders.
Tents
Drag-and-drop sleeping plans with pairing rules, and printable door tags.
Duty rota
Cooking, washing up and chores shared out across the days.
Menus and shopping
Per-head quantities worked out and costed at your own prices.
Recipes
A recipe book your group keeps between camps. Attach recipes to meals and the shopping list adds up their ingredients, scaled to your numbers.
Allergy cross-check
Meals and recipe ingredients flagged against what parents have told you, as worth a look. It spots possible problems; it never clears a meal.
Kit lists
Personal and group kit, ticked off as you pack.
Programme
A day-by-day timetable, with the forecast for your dates.
Budget
Income, costs, and a per-head fee worked out for you.
Payments
Parents can pay online, spread the cost by Direct Debit, and be refunded if plans change.
Risk assessment
Start from the hazards every camp shares, edit them to fit yours, and export Word or PDF for your DC. Yours to sign.
Messages to parents
Reach every parent at once when something changes.
Camp pack
Export the lot for the folder you take with you.
Online Scout Manager
An optional connection, if you already use it.
Handing over
Step down and pass the group to your successor, rather than it being stuck to your account.

Quartermaster

Live

Know what kit you own, where it is and what state it's in — and stop the same tent going out twice.

Equipment inventory
What you've got, where it lives, and its condition.
Checkout and loans
Who has what, and when it's due back.
Damage and incidents
A dedicated way to log it when something goes wrong at camp, rather than a note nobody finds.
Picklists
Pull together everything a camp or event needs in one go.
Stock takes
Check the shelves against the records.
Barcode scanning
Scan kit in and out instead of typing.
Inspection reminders
Told before something falls due, not after.
PAT testing
Electrical kit that's out of test is held back automatically.
Hiring out
Kit can be hired through Hall Manager without entering it twice.
District visibility
See across more than one group, if you look after several.

Hall Manager

Live

Everything your group books out — the hall, the minibus, the trailer, the kit — with the money side handled and nothing promised twice.

Halls and bookings
One-off and recurring, with capacity and changeover rules.
More than the hall
The minibus, the trailer, or your Quartermaster kit, booked the same way.
Public hire portal
Hirers see what's free and ask for it, without ever seeing who booked what.
Public calendar
A booked/free view you can share, with no names on it.
Booking requests
Hirers request a slot; you approve it.
Charging
Per-section hire charges, worked out for you.
Getting paid online
Direct Debit, with regular hirers covering a whole series on one mandate.
Invoices and exports
Invoices out, and accounting exports for whoever does your books.
Refunds
Handled properly when a booking falls through.
Compliance checks
39 recurring safety checks from the Scouts' premises audit, ready to add — each showing the law or standard its interval comes from.
A record, not just a date
Log each check as you do it, so you can show a year of entries rather than only the last one.
Reminders
Told when something's due — down to weekly, for flushing taps and testing alarms.
Premises audit
The audit questions your own records already answer, gathered for you.
Evidence to hand over
Print the lot as a pack, or take the check log as a spreadsheet.
Keyholders
Who holds a key to what.
Martyn's Law
A Protect Duty preparedness checklist.

Leader Compliance

Live

See where every leader stands on training, DBS and approval — without opening the membership system and clicking through people one at a time.

Pulled from the source
A small browser extension reads your own hierarchy from the UK Scouts membership system while you're signed in there.
Choose the scope
Just your section, your whole group, or the district.
Red, amber, green
Per leader and per module, so overdue and due-soon are obvious at a glance.
Roles
Every role someone holds, with the unit and team it belongs to.
Still Provisional?
Who hasn't been approved yet, and exactly which checks they're waiting on.
Wood Badge and Branching Out
Optional learning imported from My Learning, shown separately from the compulsory list, with progress towards a Wood Badge.
Expiry reminders
An email when someone in your hierarchy turns amber or red.
Sort and export
Order by whatever matters today, and take it away as a spreadsheet.
Your data, deletable
Wipe everything you've synced whenever you like.
