Troop Settings overview
Where each section lives in Admin > Settings, and which sections affect what.
Admin > Settings is where you configure the troop-wide behaviors that don't fit on any individual screen.
Sections in order
- Troop program — Cub Scouts or Scouts BSA. This is set during onboarding and changes which group types and rank options appear elsewhere in the app. Changing the program later does not migrate existing events or groups.
- Event categories — Up to 12 named, color-coded categories. Used in the calendar and event form. See Custom event categories and colors.
- Stripe payments — Credentials, webhook URL, and the toggle to start accepting payments. See Connecting Stripe and Charging processing fees.
- Dashboard message — A short banner shown at the top of the dashboard for every member. See Dashboard message banner.
- Default event disclaimer — Reusable rich-text content that new RSVP-enabled events can opt into. See Default event disclaimer.
- Troop info — Name and number (editable). Council and district are read-only — contact your council to update.
Who can change settings
Only users with the admin role see Admin > Settings. Committee-level users can see the rest of the Admin section but not Settings.
Saving changes
Each section has its own Save button. Changes don't apply until you save the section you edited.
