In my Ward the rule of HT/VT stats and callings is if it does not get entered into the computer (the official records) it did n...

If I can get to the 0.9 stage I'll be happy to share. The license I plan to use is GPL v3. The base concern I have is to ...

Do you want to limit the package to just scouts or do you want to include YW, Duty ot God, Adult Scout awards, Primary awards and other programs? I'd like the program to cover things like trip permits, permission slips, ...
