What’s new

Email to a troop mailing list carries up to 25 MB of photos and files. Messages bigger than about one photo used to disappear on the way in — no delivery and no bounce — and now they go through. If you belong to the troop and your message is over the limit, you get a reply explaining why.

A dated list of every update, readable from the help centre, with a version number that matches the one in the footer.

Events can charge a separate price for guests and cap the total any one family pays, quoted from a single place so the checkout matches the estimate.

Switching troops sends you to that troop's own domain, and domain settings can only be changed by the server.

A text that would exceed the remaining budget is refused at the send path rather than after you have written it.

Choose light, dark, or match your device. The help icon is now large enough to hit with a thumb.

Scout pages no longer fail when a birthday arrives in an unexpected format.

Fixed a path where an incoming text was acknowledged to the carrier and then dropped.

Admins can move photos from one album to another in bulk.

Bulk email is capped per troop, and the assistant's send tool no longer discloses every parent's address to recipients.

The consent screen shows whether a connecting application has been verified, and stops vouching for names nobody checked.

Brought the shared buttons, dialogs and form controls up to the accessibility standard the rest of the site meets.

Exporting or importing a roster no longer acts before the data it needs has loaded.

Opening the folder manager starts a fresh session instead of showing stale state.

An event that has started but not finished still appears under Coming Up and in digests.

Follows the redirect the carrier returns, so a photo sent by text actually arrives.

Event texts go to the families actually attending, and members can text back.

Opening the event text dialog gives you a fresh message instead of the last one you typed.

Exporting and re-importing the roster no longer mangles international phone numbers.

Digest emails list a repeating event on each date it occurs instead of only the first.

A weekly 7pm meeting stays at 7pm across a daylight-saving change, and tapping an occurrence opens that occurrence.

An event shows the time it actually starts where it happens, rather than shifting to whatever timezone you are reading from.

The roster shows each member's most recent sign-in, so admins can spot accounts that were never activated.

The MCP integration now enforces the exact permissions you granted, custom domains resolve correctly, and repeated sign-in attempts are detected properly.

RSVP results are visible to every member of the troop, not just leaders.

Text messaging is off until an admin turns it on, and the switch is now enforced on the server rather than only hidden in the interface.

Troops can send text messages to members, with platform limits that stop a runaway send from costing more than anyone intended.

The platform as it first ran for troops: calendar and events, RSVPs, transportation, rosters and families, email and text messaging, online payments, pages, photo albums, and the help centre.
