What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from Scouting America councils who have transformed their operations

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.

Field Director, Bay-Lakes Council

I have been working with Black Pug for just shy of 10 years now, and they are wonderful to work with! They respond to questions/requests in a timely manner, and are always extremely helpful! They have worked with us on all sorts of requests, from new reports to helping us work membership and charter renewal into the system! I am extremely confident in the accuracy and security of our data, and have found the system to be extremely reliable. Black Pug continues to come out with new enhancements, making our jobs easier. They are wonderful about looking at suggestions from councils, and implementing changes that are widely beneficial. Steve, Judy, Autumn, and the entire team are a joy to work with, and I will continue to highly recommend them every chance I get!

Registrar, Northern Star Scouting

I've used Black Pug Software in 3 different councils in my 10 year career in the Scouting program. I highly recommend them. Their customer service is amazing, as is their ability to implement new features or fix any issues I have usually in 24 to 48 hours. It's a big promise and may not happen all the time, but on something really important they make sure to fix anything I need fixed. The main thing I like about Black Pug Software is it allows me to continue focusing on outdoor adventures and less on administration. Our program team can focus on keeping Scouts outside and leaders happy, and less on paperwork and accounting. Join the Black Pug team!
