The Skills Fest

Plan your Cub Scout adventure day in an afternoon

Adventure stations, den rotations, and family registration — organized on one visual schedule instead of a wall of sticky notes.

The Skills Fest schedules Cub Scout events around adventure sessions: create timeslots and rooms or stations, drag adventures onto a schedule grid, and let families register Cub Scouts with a pack signup code — no parent email required. Capacity rules and waitlists keep stations sane, and den leaders get check-in numbers, attendance tracking, and printable rosters on the day.

The Cub Scouts-style template pre-fills Packs, Cubmasters, Den Leaders, Adventures, and Ranks from Lion to Arrow of Light, so everything on screen matches what your families already say.

What the app calls things for Cub Scout packs

Every label is configurable — the starter template pre-fills the words below, and they appear everywhere: menus, buttons, and reports.

What you get

Configurable terminology

Rename the small groups (Club/Troop/Pack), the awards (Honor/Merit Badge/Adventure), the participants, the leaders, and the levels or ranks — the whole app speaks your organization’s language, starting from one of ~12 templates or a blank slate.

Drag-and-drop schedule grid

A rooms-by-timeslots board. Drag classes between rooms and times; room capacity and a max-classes-per-room limit are enforced as you go.

Class capacity & fair waitlists

A class’s capacity is the smaller of the room’s capacity and the teacher’s limit. Full classes take a waitlist with automatic, fair promotion when a spot opens. Multi-session classes, minimum-level requirements, secondary teachers, duplicating a class into other timeslots, and a “manage students” roster with add/remove and schedule-conflict handling are built in.

Family self-registration — no email required

Leaders share a signup code; kids create an account with just a username and password. Staff and leaders can use email magic links when email is enabled, but it is never required.

Day-of check-in

Check-in numbers, live counts, and background-check flags for the door on event day.

Reports & exports

Registration grids, unit summaries, attendance summaries, printable timeslot rosters, background-check lists, and member exports — sortable and searchable in the browser, downloadable as CSV or PDF.

Questions from groups like yours

Yes. Set a minimum rank on any adventure session and registration enforces it, so Lions aren’t landing in Arrow of Light activities.
