What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from Scouting America councils who have transformed their operations

I have been a user in Black Pug since 2013. I am not computer savvy, and even I found it very user friendly. When I need help, I receive a detailed explanation in a timely manner. I am never made to feel inadequate. I highly recommend Black Pug for all councils, they address all of our Scouting needs.

Black Pug is great to work with and excel in their customer service. They take your feedback and act on it in a timely manner. I commonly get a response the same day or next day. If they can't accomplish your request, they add it to their idea board for future upgrades. Black Pug is easy to navigate and has countless reports to share the event information. There are many features to customize each event including merit badge scheduling, fee schedule, no cost, customize questions to ask participants, standard information collected, validates membership from roster upload, and so much more. I use Black Pug software every day for work. It has everything I need to be successful and is a great company to partner with.

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.
