LEADERS GUIDE Summer Camp 2026
Using Parent Portal
Parent Portal can be enabled to allow parents to enter their Scouts’ registration information details (dietary restrictions, allergies, etc.), make payments for their Scout, and select their Scout’s merit badge schedule.
Using Parent Portal is optional. For Troops who wish to NOT use Parent Portal, the primary registrant will be responsible for entering Scout information into their registration, making all payments for their Troop, and selecting Merit Badge classes for each Scout.
Parent Portal must be enabled by the primary registrant. To enable parent portal, go to your Troop’s registration on http://247scouting.com. Under “Registration Contact”, click “Additional Actions”, then click “Parent Portal”.
In the Parent Portal pop-up window, click the check box “Use Parent Portal.”
To enable parents to register for Merit Badge classes for their Scout, check “Allow Parent Portal class selection.”
To generate a printout of unique QR Codes for each Scout to access their Parent Portal, click “Parent Portal Credentials”
Parents can then scan their Scout’s unique QR Code to access their Scout’s parent portal.
