Camping nights that are recorded here will contribute to this scout's total for Order of the Arrow eligibility and
Camping Merit Badge camping nights.
If the number of nights is less than 5, they will contribute to short-term camping nights. If the number of nights is 5 or more, they will contribute to the long-term camping nights.
Service hours that are recorded here will contribute to this scout's total service hours for completing the service requirements for Star and Life.
You can also add Other Activity credits from the Credit For Other Activity page, which gives you the option of uploading the credits from a CSV file.
If your troop is just making the transition to TroopWebHost, you may want to create Other Activity entries for credit earned prior to the transition. If you do this, do not
enter Camping Nights as one lump sum entry, as the entire amount will be counted as one long term campout if it is 5 nights or greater.
You may click on any other tab heading at the top of the rank summary page to view the requirements for that rank.
When you click on a tab the system will save everything you've entered on the current page.
For each rank, the system provides a complete description of each rank requirement.
For Star, Life, and Eagle, the system will automatically complete requirement #3 when the requisite number of
merit badges have been earned for that rank.
At the bottom of each page is another set of tabs. These will take you to other Advancement pages for this scout:
