Cash to Credit: Quick Guide for Parents & Scouts

Updated yesterday

Cash to Credit allows parents to turn in cash from Scout or Storefront sales by paying with a credit card in the Trail’s End app.

When Should I Use Cash to Credit?

Use Cash to Credit when you have collected cash and want to:

  • Turn it in to your Unit without going to the Unit Leader

  • Ensure the unit receives payment quickly


Quick Steps

  • Open the Trail’s End app.

  1. Tap the green button for the cash you want to convert.

    1. Cash from Scout sales is grouped together.

    2. Cash from storefront sales is grouped by storefront.

  2. Enter the amount (up to the maximum available).

  3. Tap Convert

  4. Verify the cash you are taking matches the amount that is being converted.

  5. Once you have counted the cash, select the checkbox and tap the ‘Continue to Payment’ button.

  6. Pay using:

    • Tap to Pay

    • Square Reader

    • Manual card entry

  7. After payment you will see a confirmation message.

  8. Keep the cash you converted.

The amount available to convert at any given time during a storefront will be all cash sales to that point that have not already been converted.

If you would like to convert less than the maximum amount, type in the amount you want to convert.


Important Timing

  • Storefront sales: Best Practice is to convert at the end of your shift. You must convert by the end of the day (midnight local time).

  • Scout sales: Convert anytime during the season. All conversions must be completed by December 31 at 7:00 PM ET.


Rewards

  • Scouts earn an extra 0.25 points per dollar converted.

  • For storefronts, points are split among Scouts working that storefront.
