Where registration gets hard
Dues and trip money in envelopes
The treasurer collects dues in cash at meetings, campout money by check and the rest through payment apps, then matches it all up by hand.
A permission form for every outing
Each campout, service project and field trip needs a signed permission form and current health information, and a few always turn up in the parking lot.
When a leader steps down
The roster, family contacts and medical notes leave with them, in their inbox and their spreadsheets.
How BackPR helps
How it works in BackPR
Dues on autopay or in installments
Collect yearly dues as a membership, or split them into monthly payments on autopay. Scholarships, applied privately, help families who need it.
Events, campouts and camps
Families sign up for each outing from their phones. Longer trips and summer camp can take a deposit, with the balance on a payment plan.
Permission forms that come back signed
Make the permission form and health information required, so no one is registered without them. Families who are missing an item get reminders.
Rosters for every volunteer leader
Group youth into patrols, dens or project groups, and give each leader their own roster with medical notes, emergency contacts and attendance.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Does BackPR replace our national registration?
No. Youth and adult members still register with your national or state organization as it requires. BackPR handles your unit's or club's own dues, events, forms and payments.
Is BackPR free for our troop or club?
If your unit or club is a registered nonprofit, yes: no subscription and no BackPR fees. Not sure of your status? Ask your council or Extension office, or email support@backpr.com. Others can request a quote.
What happens when leaders change?
Give new leaders access and remove the ones who left. Rosters, forms and payment history stay with the unit, and last year's events can be copied to the new year.
Can parents pay for summer camp over time?
Yes. Take a deposit at sign-up and schedule the balance in installments, charged automatically to the saved card or bank account.
