TroopBooth compared with the tools troops already run

Almost no troop starts with software. You start with a group text, a paper shift sheet on the kitchen table and a spreadsheet somebody built two seasons ago. That holds up until the third weekend, when one family swaps a shift, four cases move from a garage to a minivan without anyone writing it down, and a parent asks what she still owes. The tool question is really a question about which of those three things you want in one place.

These comparisons take the alternatives seriously, because troops win with all of them. A general signup tool fills slots. A full troop management system runs a whole unit year. A shared spreadsheet does exactly what you build it to do. TroopBooth is deliberately narrower: booth shifts with adult and youth slots, cases signed out per member, cash and card counted per booth, and a balance sheet a parent can read. Each page below ends with the fit question rather than a scorecard.
