My Register

My Register is a smart, convenient, portable and paperless checklist which can be used to perform a headcount and to take the register at the beginning and end of a Scout Troop meeting, school club or other group at which knowing who's attended is important.

The relevance of knowing where the young people in our care are, whether they've been sent them home or arrived at camp late, have been highlighted by tragic incidents recently in which adults failed to take sufficient head counts during a field trip, resulting in the loss and death of a child.

Read more on this and the importance of head counts in relation to outdoor activities on the Scout Association's website.

The My Register app was is easy to use. It allows you to:

•Record who's in, out, and away
•Sort your list by name or by age
•Identify who's unaccounted for
•Instant access to contact details in event of emergency
•Clear colour-coding to show each individual's status
