Each year our pack creates a spreadsheet with the year’s events (campouts, meetings, etc.). If would be nice if I could import from the generated spreadsheet into TroopTrack just as you can import into a Google Calendar. This would prevent me having to manually created multiple events and save A LOT of time. Thanks ---

Good morning @cambro2024, Thank you for using the TroopTrack Community! It sounds like an interesting idea. If it gains some support here in the Community, our developers will have a look at it. Many TroopTrack users use the opposite approach for this one. They put all the events and recurring events in TroopTrack and then print the Year at a glance. Thanks for helping to make TroopTrack a better place! ---

I agree this idea would be a great benefit and time saver. We’re new to formal program planning in our troop, and I’m dreading the task of manually creating each event and meeting from a full year planning spreadsheet into the TT calendar. ---

This would be such a major improvement. My troop has a bunch of non-repeatable events that we want to get into TT from our planning spreadsheet. Then with actual repeating Troop meetings, to add it becomes very burdensome to do that one at a time via the website. ---

I will echo the use of this ability. We also do our planning at one meeting in the summer and it would be a lot easier/quicker if I could take the spreadsheet and import into the calendar. I was just looking for that right now and found this thread. Please develop that ability. ---

Awesome Idea! this would help us more to use this feature. ---

I am late to the party here, but importing of .ics files/google calendars, etc. would be a very useful function and prevent the need to re-enter things into TroopTrack. It is one of the things that is causing debate in our Troop as to whether using something other than Scoutbook (which I do not like) is even worthwhile if the Leaders have to re-enter things from Council and the like. ---

Unfortunately a TT event has much more data associated with it than just a simple date, time, description, note, calendar event. Unless some greater change to the calendar could be made this isn’t a matter of importing an ICS file into the calendar.
