Dear Unit Leader:


Welcome to CSR! My name is Jason Coe, and I'm the volunteer who maintains our camp merit badge registration system. I believe most of you have received an email from Bud stating that we will pre-load your scouts before registration begins. I will be facilitating the process.

I have provided an attached template that you can fill out for your scouts.  The fields in green are required. The fields in yellow are suggested. The other fields are optional. Row A has instructions on some of the fields.

Please fill out the attached template and get it back to me.  The best way to provide this file is to upload it in the application under Unit User > Other Items  > Upload files.  I will accept email files too, but I prefer the upload method.

If you have attended camp in a previous year, send me your troop number, and I will extract what information we have.

If you have not created an account, feel free to do so at any time.

The main help files are listed here.

Specifically, the account creation is here.

You can reach out to me via [email protected].  Please note I'm a traveling consultant, so I may be in a foreign land.  Email is preferred.

Thanks,

Jason
