RSVPs — enabling, capacity, attendee types

Turn on RSVPs when you need to know who's coming. Otherwise leave them off — every interactive section can be skipped.

Enabling

In the event form, check Enable RSVP. Several extra sections appear:

• Legal disclaimer (waiver) — optional. See Waivers and disclaimers.
• Allow guest attendees — when checked, families can list non-member additions (extended family, friends).
• Max adults and Max scouts — optional capacity caps.

Capacity caps

Each cap is independent and optional:

• Leave both blank for unlimited capacity.
• Set just Max scouts to cap kids without limiting parent volunteers.
• Set both to cap a campsite that has a hard headcount.

When the cap is reached, MyTroop blocks new "Yes" RSVPs from exceeding it. Existing yeses are not auto-bumped if you lower the cap later — you'll see the over-cap state in the event roster and can manually adjust.

Attendee types

When a parent RSVPs, they answer for each family member individually:

• Each scout gets a Yes / No / Maybe.
• Each adult in the family gets a Yes / No / Maybe.
• If guests are allowed, they can also add a count of extra adults and scouts.

Scout guests count toward Max scouts, adult guests count toward Max adults.

Late or changed RSVPs

There's no hard deadline — parents can update their RSVP at any time, including after the event. If you need a deadline, communicate it in the description.

Leaders can edit any family's RSVP from the event detail page (useful for parents who reply by text).
