Troop Management Software
*
www.scoutsoftware.com/gscoutmate.htm - G-Scoutmate
Highly rated (within our Council and elsewhere) and most widely used GS troop management software. Evaluation copy available. Official GSUSA software vendor. Great calendar function and reports, usability a bit awkward.
www.scouttroop.com - TroopManager Plus
Intuitive smaller scale application to manage troops, generate reports, etc, created purely for Girl Scout Troops. Evaluation copy available. Not an official GSUSA software vendor.
www.troopmaster.com - TroopMaster
Similar to previous two - most expensive troop management application. Very comprehensive database of awards and individual progress through awards. Evaluation copy available. Not an official GSUSA software vendor.
