Event Registration FAQ
What is the Parent Portal?
Some events will have Parent Portal enabled. The person making the registration can use it to allow parents to make payments for their Scouts and to see event information on their Scouts. Parents may be allowed to sign up their Scouts, make payments for their Scouts, or sign their Scouts up for classes; the unit leader will determine what the parent may do in Black Pug. If enabled, unit leaders will have access to a report in their registration with a QR code and login details for each parent.
What are event reports?
Each registration has its own list of available reports. View your registration and click on the Reports tab to see and run the reports available for that event. Most events will include roster of participants, account summary, and payment details.
Summer camp reports include Unit Roster attending camp, advancement records including blue cards, a upload file for Scout Book, class schedules, payment allocations by participant, incomplete merit badges, and more.
