What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from Scouting America councils who have transformed their operations

Steve and his team are fantastic. They are responsive to our needs, always available, and take our recommendations seriously. Their software is designed to meet the needs of the local council, and is very user friendly.

Andrew R. Zilnik

Camping Director, Patriots' Path Council

Over the years I have tried several softwares that would allow the council to take online registrations for events and camps. Never have found any I was particularly pleased with. Many lacked flexibility or had the "muscle" needed to handle the complex process that camp affords. That is until now. We found one that seems to be doing all of those. We use this also for our council calendar for our website. We collect fees, deposits, names and emails for those registering/participating, communicate directly to those registered for an event/camp, conduct surveys... This robust software seems to be the answer. This program is intuitive, simple and is loved by staff and volunteers here in Alaska. Our SE also loves it as he can see real-time how registrations are coming for any event and especially camp. How many times I would have given anything for that for the many years I sat in that chair.

Lyman Gifford

Chief Development Officer, Great Alaska Council

I am the controller of a multi-office council with a $10 million budget, who right now uses Black Pug for our camping and event registrations. These reservations then roll forward to our accounting system to book our revenue. More and more we are relying on Black Pug for all our registration needs. Camping uses it extensively. At the beginning of the year, we are converting over and using Black Pug as our POS system. So, we will be relying on Black Pug even more in the coming year. Why are we using Black Pug? Because their systems and software are built with Boy Scouts in mind. They understand our non-profit reporting system and can design their software to meet our requirements. Whenever we have a problem or a question, Steve and his team are right there to help us out. Customer service is superb, timely and helpful! Black Pug has always been responsive to our needs and will customize their software to meet any nuances we may have.
