Import and Export overview

The Admin > Import/Export page in one place — bulk CSV for scouts, adults, and events, plus importing an outside ICS calendar feed.

Admin > Import/Export is one page with four independent bulk-data tools. Each has its own Export and/or Import controls, and a card explaining why a control is disabled if the data it needs hasn't loaded yet.

The top of the Import/Export page, showing the Scouts, Adults, and Events (CSV) cards — Events (ICS) is further down the page.

Scouts

Bulk-add or export your scout roster via CSV — required columns, matching rules, and error reporting are covered in Bulk importing and exporting scouts.

Adults

Export Adults downloads every adult user as a CSV. Import Adults works the same way as scout import (drag a CSV, preview, confirm, watch progress, see results) with one difference: importing an adult goes through the same invite flow as adding one manually — you're offered a Send welcome emails on import checkbox at the confirm step, and if you leave it unchecked the accounts are created without an invitation, exactly like unchecking "Send welcome email" when adding a user by hand.

Events (CSV)

Bulk-add or export one-time events via CSV, using the same upload → preview → confirm → results flow. As with scouts, this is create-only — re-importing doesn't update existing events, it creates new ones.

Events (ICS)

A different kind of import: pulling events in from an outside .ics calendar feed (a council or district calendar, for example) rather than from a CSV you prepared yourself. See Importing an outside calendar feed for the full walkthrough — it's the reverse direction of subscribing to your troop's calendar.

Who can do this

Admins. Scout and event CSV import/export are also usable by Leaders, matching who can manage scouts and create events elsewhere in MyTroop.
