Troop Settings overview

Admin > Settings is where you configure the troop-wide behaviors that don't fit on any individual screen.

Sections in order

1. 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.
2. Event categories — Up to 12 named, color-coded categories. Used in the calendar and event form. See Custom event categories and colors.
3. Text messages (SMS) — The troop-wide switch that makes texting available to your leaders. Off until you turn it on. See Turning on text messaging.
4. Stripe payments — Credentials, webhook URL, and the toggle to start accepting payments. See Connecting Stripe and Charging processing fees.
5. Dashboard message — A short banner shown at the top of the dashboard for every member. See Dashboard message banner.
6. Default event disclaimer — Reusable rich-text content that new RSVP-enabled events can opt into. See Default event disclaimer.
7. Troop info — Name, number, and timezone (all editable). Council and district are read-only — contact your council to update. The timezone is what every event time is entered and displayed in — on the calendar, in digest emails, and in the subscribed calendar feed — so set it before you start creating events. An individual event held elsewhere can override it on the event form.

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.
