Here are some guidelines for data that resides in your TroopMaster database.
Scouts & Adults
- All names (scout, parent, and adult) should be unique. Use middle names and suffixes if necessary to ensure all names are unique.
- The website account username will be automatically generated in the format
- <first initial><middle initial><last name><suffix>
- Do not use co-leaders for patrols. Pick one as primary and one as assistant.
- Only current leadership (both scout and adult) should be recorded. If older positions are recorded, they may come through to the Troop Website.
- Make sure to use TroopMaster's link function if
- If a parent has multiple children
- If a parent is also a leader
Scouts
- Only the two parents in the "Parents" tab will be used. The "Alt Parent" tab is not used.
- Do not include additional information (such as leader name) in the Patrol fields. This information will automatically be added to the Roster during import.
- Address information is pulled from the 1st parent. Address information in the Scout record is not used.
Adults
- If creating adult records, make sure they are linked to the scout record.
