We are modernizing! The Council has begun the transition to a new system named Black Pug. This exciting tool will consolidate four systems to one – streamlining event registrations, payments, check-in, and managing your unit account.
Over the next few months, you will see changes to how payments are processed at the front desk or over the phone, reserve camping, and sign up for events.

A Black Pug account allows you to save your activity data, makes registering faster, and access your unit account if you have a leadership role in your unit. Below is how to get started!
