Signing up for activities

Tuesday Troop meetings need no sign-up. Every other activity does.

How it works

1. Browse upcoming activities in the activities list. Each activity shows the date, the cost, anything extra it needs, and its sign-up link.
2. Use the activity's sign-up link in the activities list to sign up.
3. Open My sign-ups. For each upcoming activity and each person you manage, it shows only what still needs your attention: a payment due, the activity consent, Scouting America registration, or medical forms.
4. Complete the consent form. See below.
5. Pay any fee. See Payments.

Medical forms are good for one year. Activities longer than 72 hours, such as summer camp, also need Part C of the medical form completed by a doctor. See medical forms. Some activities add steps for the venue, such as an extra waiver. The activity page lists them.

Common questions

Do adults pay for activities? Yes. Some cost less for adults. The activity page says so.

When are fees due? The Tuesday meeting before the activity at the latest. Many activities set an earlier deadline, so check the activity page.

How do I complete the consent form? Right after you sign up, the app offers to fill it in and sign it online. You can also download the form, then email it to the activity coordinator or hand it to the scoutmaster in charge or the activity coordinator at a meeting.

Can family members come along? Adults are welcome depending on space, but must be registered with Scouting America to attend overnight events. Other family members cannot come unless they are explicitly invited, such as for the end-of-year picnic.

Do adults complete the activity forms too? Yes. Everyone who goes on an activity completes the consent.

Can my Scout meet the group at the campsite instead of leaving from the church? We try to have everyone meet at the church before leaving so everyone is accounted for and supplies are spread across cars. The scoutmaster in charge decides, and it is only approved in unusual cases.

Can my Scout be picked up from the activity instead of returning to the church? No. Everyone returns to the church so equipment can be sorted for cleaning and everyone is accounted for.

Can my Scout come for only one night of a two-night trip? In general, no. It disrupts the patrols. The scoutmaster in charge can approve rare exceptions, but try to stay for the whole outing.
