As a Scout, do I need to register each year?
No, please use your existing account. There is no need to register each year. If you have forgotten it, you can use the Forgot Username function on the log in screen to recover it. Your leader can also see what your username is in their Leader Portal.
How do I create a Scout account?
Scout accounts are created by invitation only. Your Unit Leader will send an invitation to the email address you provide to them. Each Scout must have their own account.
If you haven’t received an invitation, ask your Unit Leader to send one.
Steps to Create Your Account
Open the invitation email from Trail’s End and click Accept your invitation. If the button doesn’t work, copy and paste the link from the email into your browser.
On the You’ve been invited! page, check that the role and unit are correct, then click Create new account.
Enter the Scout’s first name, last name, email address, and phone number. Use the same email address the invitation was sent to. Click Continue.
Create a username and password, choose your marketing communication preferences, and click Create Account.
Your account is created and linked to your unit. Download the Trail’s End App® for iOS or Android and log in with your new username and password.
Invitations expire after 7 days. If your link has expired, ask your Unit Leader to resend your invitation.
I didn’t receive my invitation
Check your spam or junk folder.
Confirm with your Unit Leader that they sent the invitation to the correct email address.
Ask your Unit Leader to resend the invitation. They can also copy your invitation link and share it with you directly, for example by text message.
Same Email Address Be Used for Multiple Scout Accounts?
Yes. The same email address can be used for multiple Scout accounts; however, each Scout account must have a unique username.
Do I need the app to Register?
No. You create your account in your web browser using the link in your invitation email. After your account is created, download the Trail’s End App® to record sales, share your online page, sign up for shifts, and more.
