Tally's tip: Works alongside Scoutbook. Scoutbook tracks advancement. Trailhead keeps the books.
Also in the book
The troop business that sits next to the money.
Positions, PLC notes and troop photos, kept in the same place as your scout accounts. So the next leader inherits the whole record, not just the ledger.
Scout Elections, on record
Set up the race for patrol leader, assistant patrol leader, Scribe or Quartermaster. Note the candidates, record the result and close it. Trailhead starts the scout's position term for you.
Position report for Scoutbook entry
Export who held which youth position, and for how long, as a CSV or a printout. That makes Scoutbook entry quicker.
PLC Scribe notes
Leaders save PLC notes right on the meeting. If notes are still blank 7 days later, Trailhead sends a reminder.
Troop galleries
Photo galleries that follow each family's media release, with upload-off settings per scout or household. Summit also allows short videos, about 3 minutes.
Scoutbook tracks advancement. Trailhead keeps the books, and now the position history that goes with them. See all features →
Built to be trusted by the whole committee.
Works alongside Scoutbook
Scoutbook keeps rosters and advancement. Trailhead keeps the troop books. They complement each other.
Role-based access
Give Committee Chairs and Scoutmasters read-only access so they can see the books without changing them.
Every change is logged
An audit trail records who changed what, so the next treasurer and the committee can follow the history.
Two-factor sign-in
Treasurers and leaders confirm sign-in with an authenticator app. Setup is a QR code scan, and you get recovery codes for a lost phone.
Common questions
Does this replace Scoutbook?

Which plan does a troop need?
Base Camp is the core book for one treasurer, and it stays free. Overlook is $79/year or $8/month and adds committee reports, a committee view and an audit log. Summit is $129/year or $14/month and adds troop management: Scout Elections, the position report, PLC Scribe notes, and short videos in the gallery.
