APG: Event Registration

What event registration system does our council use?

Our council uses Black Pug to create and manage all event and camp registrations as well as our online calendar. Event volunteers can use the system to do the following:

Build registrations,
Send registrant communications,
Check dietary or medical comments from registrants,
Run reports,
Input, communicate, and store class information,
Check participants in and out of the event,
Print out training reports, cards, and other event needs.

Here are some common Black Pug links:

If I am an event volunteer, what kind of account do I need and how do I get one?

Event volunteers needing to work with the event registrations will need an admin account. To get an admin account, a volunteer will need to do the following:

Reach out the event Staff Advisor (CLICK HERE for our council’s staff sirectory).
Request admin access via email and make sure to include what task the volunteer may want to do (see list in section above or User Permissions Sheet here).
If the Staff Advisor does not have permission to add a user, that Staff Advisor will need to reach out to the Director of Support Services.
Once access has been granted, the volunteer will receive an email from [email protected] (it may be in a junk/spam/clutter folder). This email will have the user’s UserID and password.
Use the link in the email to go to the Black Pug site and then click the login link.
Use the handouts or request help to learn how to use Black Pug.

All events will need to be verified with the event Staff Advisor before the event can be opened.
