What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from Scouting America councils who have transformed their operations

I just have to tell you how much I LOVE Black Pug and the amount of time it saves me from prior years. I used it this past year for two NYLT sessions. The amount of time it saved me and the quality of work I was able to provide has been incomparable. Now, I'm doing University of Scouting and I used to have to manually track over 150 classes. I hated it. If classes closed over the weekend then I would have to call people who registered after the cut off and then find new classes, etc. I spent so much time trying to figure that all out. I just went in and pulled up Class Attendee Counts and all the information I need is right there! I already know what classes are closed, close to closing etc.. I just emailed that list to the U of S chancellor and now he has the info. If you ever have someone who is interested in this program and wants to speak with someone who uses it PLEASE give them my email and I will gladly speak with them. My volunteers so far are loving what I'm able to do for them.

All the members of the Black Pug team strive to better serve the Scouting Community. When posting in the forums about a question, bug, request or just throwing out an idea, all the members of their team jump in no matter the department. Anytime a member of our staff or a volunteer has reached out to the Black Pug team about a bug or a request they have responded within a day. Even with some of the more challenging/off the wall requests they have not only made it happen but is a short turn around. The software is really designed with Scouting in mind. Unlike other softwares, Black Pug was built and designed by Scouters for Scouters. Unlike other systems we have used in the past, Black Pug gives us the ability to provide volunteers access to all aspects of the software allowing us to empower event chairs to really manage their events.

Judy, Autumn, Steve, and anybody else on the team who has ever had to deal with me or try to fix a problem I may have had (even if I've never spoken to you personally), THANK YOU! Thank you for hearing our requests and suggestions with such open minds. Thank you for communicating with us to let us know you've heard us, and to let us know what to expect or what's in the pipeline. Thank you for working so hard to help us meet the ever higher expectations of our customers. Thank you for always striving to exceed our expectations. Thank you for going above and beyond; not just fixing the problem, but helping us locate and correct the ripple effect of corrections. Thank you for always having a fantastic attitude when dealing with my commonly idiotic problems. You guys are the best!
