Partial Merit Badge Summary Report updated


We just updated our partial merit badge reports to include the notes.  Now you can easily see the progress of each scout on their partial merit badges and what they need to do to complete them.

Check out these reports and other in the Scouting Report Center.

Android update 1.2.8


We published a small update to our Android app that resolves the tablet issues many users were experiencing.  You should now be able to download our app on all Android tablets including the Google Nexus 7.

Details on our app can be found here in the Google Play Store.

Our next update will add the Activity tracking that you all have been asking for.

Brief outage today


Many of you experienced issues connecting to our site today.  This was due to the major outage that GoDaddy.com experienced.  Their DNS servers had major problems which affected millions of websites.  It appears that the issue has been resolved and we are back up and running.  

Thanks for your patience!

ScoutNET Update


We have updated our ScoutNET feature today. Now you can specify Troop, Team and Crew numbers. This is important for LDS Troops that have separate numbers for Troop, Team and Crew. Please note that the number needs to be 4 digits. If your Troop number is 849 then you need to enter 0849.

Also, once you download the ScoutNET file from our site, don’t open and edit it in Excel. If you have to edit the file (NOT RECOMMENDED), only use Notepad or some other text editor. If you use Excel and then save the file, it will render the file invalid when you try to upload to ScoutNET.

Please visit our ScoutNET Instructions page for detailed steps on submitting your advancement data to the BSA’s Internet Advancement System (ScoutNET).

If you run into any issues, please e-mail us at support@etrailtoeagle.com with details and we will help you out!

iPhone update 1.0.2 now available


We have just released the first update to our iPhone application.  Make sure you visit the App Store to get the update.  We appreciate the feedback that we have received to help improve the app.

In this release we have fixed the following issues:

  • Fixed a bug with read-only leader being able to add a scout
  • Renamed the Delete button to “Edit” on the Merit Badge page

We have also added the following features:

We are working hard to bring continuous updates to our mobile apps.  Today we released version 1.2.7 for our Android App.  The new update brings two new features:

ScoutNET Capability


We know you have been waiting for this and we are glad to finally give it to you.  You can now submit your advancement records from eTrailToEagle to the BSA’s Internet Advancement Website, otherwise known as ScoutNET.

Many councils now require that you use ScoutNET to submit advancement records.  This meant you had to enter all your advancement records twice.  Now we have solved that problem.  Using our ScoutNET feature, you can easily upload to ScoutNET all of your eTrailToEagle advancement records.

Visit our ScoutNET Instructions page for step by step instructions of the entire process.

If you have any questions on how to use this feature, please let us know at support@etrailtoeagle.com.
