What TroopWebHost does well
- Advancement: "The requirements for every merit badge and every rank... are already in the system"
- A troop website "hosted on a secure server"
- A mobile app that it says "works even when you don't have Internet access"
Worth asking about any unit software
- Do families actually use it, or only the person keeping records?
- Can a family hear from you before they've set up a login?
- When you hand it over, does the next leader get the know-how as well as the data?
