If your troop has been using Scoutbook, you don't need to start from scratch in Campfire. The Scoutbook import pulls in your Scouts, parents, and advancement history so you can pick up right where you left off.
What gets imported
- Scout roster (names, dates of birth, contact info)
- Parent and guardian records linked to their Scouts
- Rank advancement history and merit badge completions
- Leader roster with existing roles
Available for BSA programs
ScoutBook Sync is available for Scouts BSA troops, Cub Scout packs, Venturing crews, and Sea Scout ships. The one-time import is included on Campfire Basic; ongoing automatic sync requires Campfire Pro. Works on web and mobile.
How to run the import
- Open troopcampfire.app or the Campfire mobile app and sign in as a troop leader.
- Tap Account Settings (top right).
- Tap Organization.
- Tap ScoutBook Sync. (Available for Scouts BSA, Cub Scouts, Venturing, and Sea Scouts.)
- Follow the prompts to sign in to your Scoutbook account and pull your roster.
- Campfire imports your Scouts, parents, and advancement history. The process runs in the background and may take a few minutes for large rosters.
Watch for duplicates
If some people already have Campfire accounts, the import may create duplicate member records. See Merge duplicate members to clean those up.
