We recommend that Packs register for summer camps as a group. While this is not required, Packs who help parents with the registration process tend to increase their Pack’s participation. Group registration also allows leaders the benefit of viewing their group’s registration and payment information all in one place.
In August of 2019, our registration system, My Council, underwent a significant upgrade. With My Council, you can now register using a mobile device or tablet allowing you to use the system over cellular data. You can also upload a unit roster as discussed below to make it easier to enter the same Scout for multiple events. If you have any questions regarding group registration, please contact Rachel Kaiser at 319-862-0541.
Use these worksheets to record all the information necessary for online registration or in-person registration. Be sure to collect payment. Prices are listed on the worksheet.
Our event registration program is called My Council. There are various ways to get to our event registration pages for our 2020 Cub Scout Camp. The easiest way is to view the My Council listing where all of our programs are listed. You can also find more information for each event on our website.
My Council now has the capability for you to upload your entire unit roster to make it easier to register your pack for multiple events. In order to find your unit’s dashboard, you must be the top leader of your unit or be assigned privileges to view this dashboard. The unit dashboard also stores all of the registration and payment information for your unit.
The My Council link is in the top right-hand corner of our council web page. You can also get to My Council through event registration links.
After logging into My Council, you will see your home dashboard. You can get to this home screen at anytime by clicking the Hawkeye Area Council text while in this program as shown below. If you have access to your unit dashboard, the link will appear as shown below. If you are the top leader of your unit and your unit does not appear, please contact the Council Service Center.
From the unit dashboard under setup / tools, you can assign user roles and give other leaders in your unit access to your unit registration information. This will allow them to see “My Units” from their own dashboard.
From the Roster tab, you can select add new or the you can buttons in the upper right-hand corner to individually add in members of your Pack, or you can download an excel spreadsheet to record the information in and upload.
Note: We have a request in to My Council to create a way to upload rosters from Scoutbook. Stay tuned for more information!
The event landing page has various registration information including the pricing or the event.
Under the Resources tab, you can view more information including contact information, registartion worksheets, and health form links.
Click the register online button to view the registration page. If you are registering your unit, click the check box under Pack Registration and selecting the number of Scouts and Leaders you plan to register.
Note: My Council allows for easy payment with credit card or e check. If your unit prefers to pay in person, you can still register online and select “Pay Down Pmt” on this screen. It is set up for a down payment of $0 so that you can register and pay later in person.
If you have not logged in to My Council yet, click the login button. Your ability to populate your Pack information and Pack roster will not be available unless you are logged in.
Note: Parents can register as individuals if they please. Parents do not have to log in to register for events.
Once you have logged in, select the red add information button. Here you can enter the required contact information for your group. If you are set up as the top leader or have registration privileges, you can populate most of this information from the populate button in the upper right corner.
Note: You will still need to enter the required contact information for the contingent leader. The phone number must be entered in the correct format.
Clicking the populate button allows you to select your unit and populate your unit’s contact information.
Once your contingent information is entered, you will see red add information boxes for each attendee below. You cal also click add attendee slots if you need to add more or delete slots.
Note: We ask for attendee contact information and email address so that we can contact each attendee’s parents with more event information and updates.
The attendee information screen is where you enter the attendee information. One advantage of group registration is that the unit information is already populated. If you have entered a roster into your unit dashboard, a populate button will appear in the upper right-hand corner where you can populate the required fields from your roster.
Once you have cleared out all of the red add information buttons, a green proceed to check button will appear.
The checkout process is similar to other online checkout pages. By clicking the blue change payment method button, you can select a bank account to withdraw from instead of a credit card. If you have saved a credit card from a prior order, it will be saved in the change payment method screen.
If your payment address is different that the above address, click the enter payment address button.
After your payment information is entered, click the I agree to the Council’s Term and Conditions box and then click the green place your order button.
If you selected the $0 down payment option before, you can complete registration and return to pay later or pay in person at the Council Service Center.
Once you are registered, you can view all of your units registration information from the unit dashboard in My Council.
