The full tour

Everything to run your troop.
Nothing you don't.

ScoutNest handles the operational side of troop life — events, communication, roster, attendance, and your own public site. Here's a closer look at each piece.

01 · Event planning & RSVP

Plan your next campout in two minutes.

Campouts, weekly meetings, hikes, service projects — spin one up, attach what families need, and let one-tap RSVP do the headcount for you.

  • One-tap RSVP from the app, email, or lock screen
  • Packing lists & permission slips attached to every event
  • Automated reminders so no family slips through
  • Live headcounts — going, maybe, and still-pending
🧭 Best for leaders — no more night-before headcount scramble

🍴02 · Meal planning

Plan every meal before you pack the trailer.

Build patrol menus for each campout — ingredients grouped by category, cooks and cleanup assigned, gear noted, and a shopping list that rolls itself up. No more forgotten tomato sauce at the trailhead.

  • Per-meal menus with ingredients grouped by category
  • Auto shopping list — purchase vs. patrol-box sourcing
  • Assign cooks & cleanup crews to every meal
  • Dietary notes & equipment tracked per meal
🍴 Best for patrols — everyone eats, and nothing's forgotten

Announcements, direct messages, and threaded conversations — delivered the way each family actually checks. Pick email, push, or SMS per message.

  • Troop-wide announcements & patrol threads
  • Email + push + SMS delivery, chosen per message
  • Read receipts so you know it actually landed
  • Two-deep messaging norms built in for youth safety
