What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from Scouting America councils who have transformed their operations

There is so much that Black Pug has been able to do for us with their reservation system, both in Scouting Events and Camp Reservations. Our volunteers can make reservations online, we no longer need to track everything by hand and in a couple different databases, and both have a nice close out section where you can capture all of the information for the event and a session at camp. We can quickly see who owes money and get the bills sent out. And they all look the same! They don't vary from one district to another. They also have a great refund process built in and they get that the councils need two signatures on any refunds. I'm in the accounting department and I've been very excited about all of the reporting tools that they have. If they don't have a reporting tool that we need, they are really quick to create one; usually within a day or two. I've really enjoyed working with them because they are so easy to get along with and they get the Scouting lingo. I look forward to working with them in the future!

This system is one of the best I have used, and I have used several. I find that Black Pug is very responsive to any issue and very open to suggestions on new features or enhancements.

Marc McGrain

Council Commissioner, Great Falls Council

Over the years I have tried several softwares that would allow the council to take online registrations for events and camps. Never have found any I was particularly pleased with. Many lacked flexibility or had the "muscle" needed to handle the complex process that camp affords. That is until now. We found one that seems to be doing all of those. We use this also for our council calendar for our website. We collect fees, deposits, names and emails for those registering/participating, communicate directly to those registered for an event/camp, conduct surveys... This robust software seems to be the answer. This program is intuitive, simple and is loved by staff and volunteers here in Alaska. Our SE also loves it as he can see real-time how registrations are coming for any event and especially camp. How many times I would have given anything for that for the many years I sat in that chair.
