HOW TO USE THE RSVP SYSTEM IN TROOPMASTER

Here are a few tips and tricks to help you register for scouting events through our Troopmaster Web Software.

METHOD #1

The easiest way to RSVP for an event is to use the Weekly Newsletter that comes out on Sunday. (This is the newsletter that you are reading right now!). Look further down the page, and find the event you want to register for and use the link in this email that says "Click here to register for this event".

METHOD #2

You can RSVP through the Troopmaster Web Software. Login and select Activities from the top menu. Next select Activity Calendar. Now find the event you want to register for on the calendar and double-click it. On the details page that opens, select the Registration tab and click the link that says "Click here to register for this event". 

TIP #1

On the RSVP screen that opens, click YES or NO and add any comments you like, then click the "Submit RSVP" button to complete the registration. (If you are the parent, you may see a link at the bottom of the RSVP page that lets you register your child.)

TIP #2

Use the Comments field to add information such as, if you can drive for the event, or if a parent will be joining the trip. (There is a limit of 128 characters please)

Tip #3

Use the "Who's Coming" button on the RSVP page to see all the other people who have signed up for the trip. Check this after you RSVP to be sure your name was added.

Final Note:

Most of the problems people have come from forgetting to click the "Submit RSVP" button. So after you have completed your RSVP, return to the registration page and click the "Who's Coming" button and make sure your name is there.
