The Skills FestTrail badge days and camporees for Trail Life troops
Schedule trail badge sessions, register Trailmen by troop, and run the day with check-in and real reports.
The Skills Fest runs Trail Life events built around trail badge sessions: set up timeslots and rooms, place sessions on a drag-and-drop grid, and let troops register Trailmen with a signup code — no email needed for youth accounts. Capacity follows room and instructor limits, waitlists promote automatically, and Troopmasters get check-in, attendance, and CSV/PDF rosters.
The Trail Life-style template speaks your language from the start — Troops, Troopmasters, Trail Badges, and Ranks from Recruit to Horizon — and sessions can require a minimum rank.

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 trail badge session and registration enforces it automatically.
