Events: Browsing & RSVP

Your unit’s campouts, hikes, service projects, meetings, and courts of honor all live on the Events page. As a Scout you use Events to see what’s coming up, read the details of any activity, and RSVP — tell your leaders you’re coming. You take part in events; leaders and youth leaders are the ones who create and run them, so you won’t see “Create Event” buttons, and that’s exactly how it should be. This page walks you through browsing, RSVPing, checking the details, and the calendar.

Browsing the events list

Open Events from the sidebar (/events). You land on a calendar by default, but the toolbar in the top-right has a List / Calendar switch — tap List to see your unit’s events as cards instead.

Each event card shows:

• The date across the top, plus an end date if it runs more than one day.
• The title of the event.
• A type badge — Campout, Hike, Service Project, Meeting, Court of Honor, and so on — and a status badge like Upcoming or Completed.
• How many people have signed up so far — a green Youth count and an amber Adults count.

Use the Search events… box to find an event by name, and the two dropdowns to filter by type or status. Tap any card to open that event’s full details.

Note

You won’t see a Create Event or Annual Plan button — making and managing events is a leader and youth-leader job. Your view is all about finding events and signing up for them.

Opening an event and RSVPing as a participant

Tap an event card to open its detail page. Near the top you’ll see quick tiles for the date and time, the number Registered, the Location, and the Fee (or “Free”). Below those tiles is your RSVP section.

If you haven’t signed up yet, you’ll see a big Register for Event button. If the event has a registration fee, the amount shows just above the button. Tap Register for Event to RSVP — a “Registered!” message confirms you’re in.

Tap 'Register for Event' to RSVP as a participant.

Once you’re registered, the RSVP section changes to show your status:

• You are going! with a green Confirmed badge — you’re all set.
• Registration pending approval — your leaders approve sign-ups for this event, so you’re saved but waiting on a yes.
• You are on the waitlist — the event was full when you signed up; you’ll move up if a spot opens.

If you change your plans, tap Cancel RSVP in that same section to give up your spot.

After you register, your status updates to 'You are going!'

Tip

Some events need a permission slip signed by a parent or guardian. When one is required, you’ll see a Permission Slip Needed note after you register — let your parent know so they can sign it. Once it’s done, that note turns into Permission Slip Signed.

Checking the date, location, and roster status

Everything you need to show up prepared is on the event detail page:

• Date and time — the start and end, shown in the tile at the top.
• Location — the place name, and an address underneath when there is one. If the location is linked, you can tap it (or the Location quick action) to see it on a map.
• Registered — how many people have signed up, shown as a count (for example 8 / 20 when the event has a capacity limit, with an At Capacity note if it’s full).
• About This Event — the full description your leaders wrote, with anything you need to bring or know.

Scroll down and you’ll find tabs like Registrations, Packing, and Tasks. The Tasks tab lists jobs for the event — and any tasks assigned to you show up here so you know what you’re responsible for, like bringing a tent or leading a song. You can see and check off your own tasks; assigning tasks to others is a leader’s job.

The Tasks tab shows jobs for the event, including any assigned to you.

Viewing the calendar

Prefer to see everything by month? Open Calendar from the sidebar (/calendar), or switch the Events page to its Calendar view. The calendar lays out the whole month at once, with each event shown on its day. Days with several events show a small count, and crowded days show a + more link.

Use the arrows beside the month name to step back and forward a month, or tap Today to jump back to the current date. Tap any event right on the calendar to open its detail page and RSVP.

The month calendar. Tap any event to open it and RSVP.

Tip

If the calendar looks empty, check the month you’re on with the arrows — your next campout might be a month or two ahead. Tap Today any time to come back to now.
