Transform Your Scouting Council

All the members of the Black Pug team strive to better serve the Scouting Community. When posting in the forums about a question, bug, request or just throwing out an idea, all the members of their team jump in no matter the department. Anytime a member of our staff or a volunteer has reached out to the Black Pug team about a bug or a request they have responded within a day. Even with some of the more challenging/off the wall requests they have not only made it happen but is a short turn around. The software is really designed with Scouting in mind. Unlike other softwares, Black Pug was built and designed by Scouters for Scouters. Unlike other systems we have used in the past, Black Pug gives us the ability to provide volunteers access to all aspects of the software allowing us to empower event chairs to really manage their events.

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to you and your team for your incredible responsiveness to tech support requests. You do a wonderful job trouble-shooting and are very accommodating to new features and requests. It's no wonder you keep adding councils to your client list. Kudos!

We used Sellwise for many years as our Point of Sale system…. Tracking inventory, sales transactions, and lots of Unit Deposit Account transactions. We knew we wanted to move away from a desktop based system to something in the cloud, as well as being very user friendly for our unit leadership. COVID-19 helped us accelerate the transition from a desktop system that we had no access to for months due to workplace restrictions. Now months after the transition, our unit leaders love it that they can inquire of their UDA balance 24/7, they can make a deposit anytime and see that it posts to the account immediately, use their UDA balance to purchase Council Trading Post and other items as well as pay camp and activity registration fees. Unit leadership’s ability to update Trusted Users as they need and when they need is a huge benefit to the units, and eliminate a great deal of administrative work previously done by council staff. Wow what a great toolset that has dramatically streamlined our operations related to retail sales (primarily internet sales) and Unit Deposit Account management. We would encourage every council to take a look at Black Pug Software.
