TrailSign

Trailsign is the app for Scout units that plan with What2Pack. It opens on your units: what's coming up, who's going, what's due and what each Scout still needs. Open any trip and all of it is on your phone, and still there when the signal is gone. Sign in with the email on your unit's roster, yours or a parent's. One tap on the link signs the phone in. Leaders can sign in with their What2Pack password instead. YOUR UNIT • Coming up. The next meeting or outing first, every upcoming event with your sign-up status, and a calendar. Sign up, add an event to your calendar or get a reminder the evening before. • Your family. A page for each Scout with rank, patrol and the packing list for what's next. • Money. What your family owes for each event, and Scout fund balances. Paying opens Zeffy. • Advancement. What each Scout has left for the next rank and merit badges. Adult leaders sign off requirements and email checklists to Scouts and the advancement coordinator. • Meetings. The plan, announcements, links and files. Leaders take attendance by patrol, even with no signal. • Cookbook. Recipes that scale from 1 to 200, diet and allergy filters, saved recipes and step timers that ring and show on the Lock Screen. • Shopping lists. Check them off aisle by aisle, share them, or fill your Kroger cart once Kroger is linked on what2pack.org. • Roster and gear. Scouts by patrol and the adults, with the contact details your role allows. Find unit gear by location or tag, or scan its QR label, and check it in and out. ON A TRIP • Campouts and day trips on one screen: My trip (when, where to meet, your ride, your tent, your jobs, the nearest hospital), the trip's write-up and files, the roster by patrol, menus with full recipes, packing, rides and safety. • Plan from the phone. Add a patrol to a trip, plan its menu from the cookbook, deal the duty roster and make the grocery list. Troops are youth led, so any Scout in the troop can plan. • Trip board. Every coming trip on one screen for the SPL, with what each patrol still needs. • Announcements. Leaders post to every family on a trip, by email and in the app. • Summer camp. Your class schedule by period, the camp's program, and for leaders, where every Scout is this period. • Treks and high adventure. The trip day by day, and hikes with distance, climb, an elevation profile and your leaders' trail notes. • Offline maps. Download the trip's map before you go, with its stops and trails drawn on it. • Packing lists you can tick off. Your own list, plus the troop gear committed to the trip with its tag numbers, so loading the trailer is a checklist. • Tents, duty rosters and rides. Your tent, your jobs at every meal and who you're riding with. Leaders change tents by the two-year age rule; drivers offer seats and parents place their own Scouts. • Headcount. Leaders count everyone at a checkpoint, and phones on the same trip share the count with each other, no signal needed. • Safety at hand. Rally points, emergency contacts and safety cards for the places you're going. • Care flags. Food allergies, who takes daily medication and anything the crew should know, entered by your leaders and shown to the people on the trip. Trailsign does not hold medical records. BUILT FOR THE BACKCOUNTRY Trips, the cookbook and your unit's roster and gear stay on the phone. Pull to refresh when you have signal. Attendance, sign-offs, gear changes and shopping check-offs made with no signal send when you're back in range. FOR ADULTS ON THE TRIP Driver phone numbers for the ride home are shown only to adults on the trip and to parents of Scouts on it. PRIVACY There are no ads and no tracking. In the app, a unit's trips are shown to its members and their families, and contact details only to the people your unit allows. Your location is used on your phone to show where you are on the map and is never sent anywhere. Trailsign needs a unit that plans with What2Pack (what2pack.org).
