## Description

Scouting – Youth & Parent Tracking is a Chrome extension designed for parents and Scouts to monitor the Scouting journey from Lion to Eagle. It is not intended for adult leaders to track scouts; use is limited to family accounts connected to a Scout.

Note: A my.scouting.org login is required, and your account must be linked to a Scout as a parent or be a youth account to enable progress tracking.

## Review summary

Overall, users find the app useful for tracking progress and organizing events, and it can be simple for younger Scouts to use at first. Yet multiple reviews highlight chronic reliability problems: frequent login/authentication failures and ongoing sign-outs, glitches and occasional crashes requiring reinstalls. Update flow is often broken, and core features like merit badge tracking and calendar integration are missing or hard to use. The UI feels dated and unintuitive, with setup and profile access repeatedly frustrated. Stability and feature gaps dominate the feedback.

### Pros

- Helpful for tracking scouts' progress and events; keeps track of everything.
- Works well initially and provides a usable baseline for basic tasks.
- Simple and accessible for youth users to enter events and manage calendars.

### Cons

- Frequent login/authentication issues (Sign in with AppleID not working; sign-in loops; locking out).
- Frequent glitches and instability (sign-outs, crashes, and need to reinstall).
- Poor update/maintenance flow (update prompts not aligning with App Store; updates disappearing; need to reinstall).
- Missing core features and data entry capabilities (merit badge tracking, calendar integration/add to calendar, editing hours/dates).
- Dated, unintuitive UI and setup/navigation issues (profile access problems, 1969 date bug).
