Once again, the BSA is revamping adventures for Cub Scouts. This one looks like a big one (e.g. Bobcat going away as-is and turning into required adventure every year).
Is there an ETA on when Troop Track will be updated, and will we be able to still see awards under the old system for scouts who are already on their way?
The plan is to have them live by June 1st. Yes the previous ranks will still show up for anyone who earned an older rank.
Just setup our Pack’s account. Unfortunately it looks like the new adventures aren’t quite live yet on the site. I’m sure there is a lot of work to update all of the adventures.
In case it is helpful the official details are now live as of yesterday on the BSA Website for all adventures for all ranks: Cub Scout Adventures | Boy Scouts of America
Unfortunately with BSA not releasing the details until this last weekend it has delayed the release of the updates. Someone posted from a Council to the Advancement Thread and work was started however still needed to be verified in case BSA made any last hour changes.
Understood, FWIW, both Charles_Van_Winkle and pack46mpls are me. We look forward to moving our pack over once we’ve validated all the new things.
Just noticed that the shopping list in troop track DOES NOT show what rank? For example, it just says bobcat, 2024 but doesn’t tell me if it is Lion, Tiger or Bears… oh my!
We’re having the same issue as @Pack1597
@AaronStorey @dave any comments on this issue? Is there anything we as subscribers can do to help get this resolved?
shopping list in troop track DOES NOT show what rank
Our advancement coordinator had to do a bunch of this by hand this pas week which is very tough when you’re a large pack.
Thank you
Thanks for the continued feedback, that is exactly what needs to be done as subscribers. I sent this over to the TT team.
Thank you, we’re very interested in a fix for this.
@AaronStorey any update? This is causing our advancement coordinator to have to spend a lot of extra time with manual work each month.
There’s a logic error with the 2024 Cub Scout Changes. We have a scout which shows 100% completion, but only 50% of the required adventures are completed.
Screenshot here:
Just to follow up here as well, this was not an issue with TT, there was a completion date entered into the overall adventure even though the individual items had not been recorded complete.
I will follow up with the TT team regarding this issue however as a work around, after you upload the completions to Scoutbook Plus (IA2.0) you get an advancement report and shopping list from BSA that may have the rank levels for Bobcat.
Thanks for the response Aaron, we don’t have scouts assigned to dens in Scoutbook because we’re using TroopTrack. So to set that up, we’d have to reflect our roster of 105 scouts in Scoutbook.
To give more insight.
The shopping list looks like this, but if you have multiple dens per rank, it is hard to deinterleave those.
So, as an example, for “Bear Strong - Personal Fitness”. We have three different Bear dens, and the advancement coordinator needs to manually mark down who is in each den.
In the previous software package we had, the dens were listed in the shopping list and could be exported to CSV, and then make an easy printout from Excel that could then be cut into strips of paper and put into individual baggies per award/den. So at the pack meetings, we then would announce everyone in a den that got an award.
It made it easy for both shopping as well as in-person presentation/awarding.
We hope this helps.
I was able to look at an advancement report from my linked Pack and noticed this, I did send it over to the TT team.
IA2.0 wouldn’t need to be setup in Dens however I noticed that the BSA advancement report didn’t include rank level for the awards either, just the names of the awards.
