@mavetju@aus.social we have just had an edict from WA branch. No software is to be used unless specifically sanctioned. No OSM, no other club manager, etc. probably not even google sheets. We are now stuck with ScoutMap, and Terrain. I don't want to go back to paper logs, but maybe it will be the easiest.

@Blacksmithoz@aus.social ScoutMap sounds like a toolset for event organisation. While we don't have official tools for it here in NSW, we do have to provide Activity Descriptions, Risk Assessment and Parent Permission forms into a Jira instance for tracking of events. This workflow was made / more enforced after insurance renewal issues ("What do you mean you don't know how many abseiling activities you have per year?" and "How many incidents did you have for them?"). ScoutHub is member management, which was enforced after Scouts NSW got too upset about the amount of times members got not properly registered with them until just before a big event. It's not too bad as a concept, but the tool sucks as the provider made a generic tool and Scouts NSW / the groups are not able to enhance their needs on it easily.
