Calendar views and filters
How the four view modes differ, and how den/patrol/category filters interact.
View modes
Four buttons at the top of the calendar.
| View | Window | Recurring events | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coming Up | Next 60 days | Only the next instance of each series | Quick "what's next" glance |
| Month | One month grid | Every instance shown on its date | Seeing the rhythm of the month |
| Week | One week | Every instance shown | Weekly planning |
| List | 4 weeks | Every instance shown | Reading event details in sequence |
Use Today to jump back to the current date. Prev/Next arrows step by month, week, or 4-week block depending on the view.
Filters
Filters narrow what shows up across all views.
Den filter (Cub Scouts only)
A multi-select dropdown of all dens in your troop. Two quick actions:
- All — show every den's events.
- My Dens — show only the dens your scouts are in. (Default for parents whose family has scouts.)
Toggle individual dens on or off with the checkboxes. Troop-wide events are always shown regardless of the den filter.
Patrol filter (Scouts BSA only)
A single-select dropdown — "All patrols" or one specific patrol. Troop-wide events stay visible.
Category filter (both programs)
A single-select dropdown — "All categories" or one specific category. Combines with the den/patrol filter (AND logic).
Color coding
Each event has a small colored circle next to its title. Two color sources:
- Den color (Lion=yellow, Tiger=orange, Wolf=red, Bear=blue, Webelos=green, AOL=purple). Used when an event is targeted at a specific den.
- Category color — used otherwise (you set these in Event categories).
When a den filter is active, a small color legend appears so you know at a glance which dot is which den.
