Troop CampfireGetting your unit into Campfire only takes a few minutes. This article walks you through the onboarding flow — from choosing your organization type to completing your unit profile so members can find and join you.
How to set up your troop
- Go to troopcampfire.app and create an account, or download the Campfire mobile app — either way works.
- On the onboarding screen, select your organization type: Scouts BSA, Cub Scouts, Venturing Crew, Sea Scouts, Girl Scouts, or Other Youth. This controls which ranks, program terminology, and features appear throughout the app.
- Enter your unit name. This is what members and families will see.
- Provide basic info — unit address (line 1, line 2, line 3), city, state, ZIP, country, and timezone.
- Finish setup. Your troop is live and ready for members.
What to do next
- Invite your leaders and committee members first, so they can help onboard families
- Import your roster from Scoutbook if your troop has existing records
- Create your first event so families see an active calendar when they join
You can update any of these settings later from Settings in the navigation. Nothing is locked in during initial setup.
