Title: TroopMaster 2005
1TroopMaster 2005
Duty To God
2Check the LDS checkbox and TroopMaster will
apply the special LDS rules when it validates
your Annual Recharter report.
The LDS Unit checkbox also activates several
features not otherwise available.
For example, TroopMaster will create Troop, Team,
and Crew member groups. Also, the Duty to God
(DTG) award becomes available.
You can access the data entry dialog for this
award through a button on the Individual
Advancement dialog. In addition, two Duty to
God report options are added to the Reports gt
Duty to God menu. However, these new menu items
will not be visible until the next time you start
the program. (Note Deactivating this checkbox
will not cause scouts to lose credit for DTG
award requirements.)
3This dialog can be accessed from the File menu
then Preferences.
Check this box if you are an LDS unit and you
want TroopMaster to automatically move scouts to
the appropriate member group (Troop, Team, or
Crew) based on age.
For example, when TroopMaster sees that a scout
has turned 14, it will automatically move him
from the Troop to the Team member group and
check the Varsity checkbox on his Individual
Advancement dialog.
4The Duty To God Award
5The Duty to God dialog has a separate tab for
each of the three certificates, and TroopMaster
will automatically display the certificate
appropriate to the scouts age.
6For each certificate, you can elect to display
any of the seven areas of requirements
7As the scout completes these requirements, check
them off within the list box
When all of the dated requirements are complete
TroopMaster will monitor your entries and when a
sufficient number of requirements have been
completed, you will be prompted for a completion
date.
TroopMaster will automatically enter a completion
date for the certificate
When all three certificates are complete,
TroopMaster will credit the scout with Duty to
God and add the award to the scouts special
awards list.
8Lets look at the Duty To God Reports, starting
with Certificate
9This report allows you to get an individual
report on any scout for any of the three
certificates.
This report allows you to get an individual
report on any scout for any of the three
certificates. If you select the Default
Certificate option, TroopMaster will generate
the appropriate certificate for each of the
selected scout(s) based on each scouts age.
Eleven year olds will automatically be excluded.

11Now lets look at the Progress Matrix report.
12This very flexible report lets you see the status
of selected scouts against any of the
requirements for any certificate. The data is
presented in a spreadsheet format.
The matrix is limited to 65 columns so you cannot
include all seven groups of requirements for any
given certificate. However, you can select all
of the Duties and Activities items, or all of
the Personal Goals, or a selected combination
of the two.
You can also include a legend that provides a
detailed description of each requirement.
