How to use MyTroop

Guides and tips for troop admins and parents.

For Troop Admins

Setting Up Your Troop

After your troop is created, log in with the email you provided. You'll be automatically promoted to admin. From there, configure your troop name, program type, and preferences in Admin > Settings.

Managing Users & Families

Invite parents via Admin > Users. Send email invites or create accounts directly. Each parent joins a family unit and can add their scouts.

Creating Events

Use the Calendar to create one-time or recurring events. Enable RSVPs, add waivers, set up transportation, and collect payments — all optional per event.

Communication

Set up email digests (weekly/monthly) from Admin > Communication. Your troop also gets a mailing list (e.g., all@yourtroop.mytroop.org) that any member can send to.

For Parents

Logging In

Visit your troop's site (e.g., yourtroop.mytroop.org) and click Log In. Use the email and password from your invite, or sign in with Google.

RSVPs & Events

View upcoming events on the calendar. RSVP for your family by selecting which scouts and adults are attending. Sign waivers and pay fees right from the event page.

Payments

If an event has a fee, you can pay online via credit card. Payments are processed securely through Stripe. Your troop admin can also mark payments as received offline.
