TroopForge

Finance software for scout troops

Every scout, family, and event balanced in one place.

TroopForge keeps scout accounts, household balances, and event payments in one ledger. Treasurers stop reconciling spreadsheets, and parents can see exactly where their money went.

Invite your committee and set everything up before you pay.

Real-time balances

Bank-style ledgers update the moment a payment is recorded.

Roster-aware events

Payments are tied to registrations, so the roster shows who owes what.

One login, many troops

Linked troops share one subscription with access scoped by role.

Scout accounts

A ledger for every scout, with the balance always in view.

Each scout account works like a bank statement: dated entries, a type for every movement, and a running balance on every row.

  • Mistakes are corrected with a reversal, and the original entry stays on the record
  • Fundraiser credits, dues, and event fees all land in the same history
  • Print a statement for any scout in one click

Family wallets

Siblings, parents, one household balance.

Link parents and scouts to the same family. Fundraiser credits and transfers between siblings stay visible to everyone in the household.

  • Parents see their family’s balances without asking the treasurer
  • Move money between siblings with both sides recorded

Event registration

Collect for camp in stages, straight from the roster.

Create troop or sub-troop events with payment stages and due dates. The roster shows who’s paid in full, who’s partial, and who’s past due, and you can record a payment without leaving it.

  • Staged payments with their own due dates
  • Pay from a scout’s account balance or record cash and checks
  • Collection mode for the sign-in table at meetings

Approvals

Parents request, you approve.

When a parent asks to pay for something from their scout’s account, the amount goes on hold so it can’t be spent twice. You approve or decline, and the family is told either way.

  • Holds are shown separately from available balance
  • Every approval is logged with who approved it and when
