Overview: How Scouts Join Your Unit
The easiest way to add Scouts to your unit is by sharing your Unit Code via QR code.
⚠️ Note: Due to COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection), Unit Leaders cannot create Scout accounts on behalf of Scouts. Parents must complete registration for their Scouts.
Share Your Unit Code
Your Unit Code links Scouts to the correct unit during registration. The fastest way to share it is directly from the Scouts page in the Leader Portal.
How to share your Unit Code
Log in to the Leader Portal.
Navigate to the Scouts page.
Click the Share button to generate a QR code that families can scan to download the Trail's End App® and enter your Unit Code automatically.
💡 Tip: Share the QR code with families at your kick-off meeting for the fastest way to get Scouts added to your roster.
Once registration is complete, the Scout will automatically appear in your unit roster.
Scouts Can Also Self-Register
Scouts or parents can register directly without the QR code by downloading the Trail's End App® and clicking Register on the main login page. When prompted, they'll enter your Unit Code manually to link to your unit.
⚠️ Note: Scouts must be age 18+ or have a parent complete registration.
Remove a Scout from your unit
Go to Unit Info → Scout Roster.
Locate the Scout.
Select Remove under the Actions column.
✅ Removing a Scout does not delete their account; it only removes them from your unit. The Scout will be prompted to select a new unit when they log in.
Move a Scout to another unit
If you know the unit the Scout is moving to, you can help them out by moving them to the right place.
Go to Unit Info → Scout Roster.
Locate the Scout.
Select Move under the Actions column.
