Black Pug Event Registration

How to Use the Black Pug Event Registration System

The Atlanta Area Council is transitioning event registration from Tentaroo to Black Pug. During the transition, registrations for most events taking place before October 31, 2026, will remain in Tentaroo, while later events will use Black Pug.

Black Pug is a third-party registration platform used by Scouting America councils for event registration and facility reservations. Automated messages generated by the system may come from 247scouting.com.

Use the tutorials below to learn how to create an account, access your unit roster, register participants, manage classes and payments, and retrieve registration reports.

Black Pug Tutorials

Setting Up an Account

A Black Pug account can save registration information and make future registrations faster. Committee Chairs should use the email address associated with their my.scouting.org account so eligible unit information can be connected correctly.

Create or Log In to Your Black Pug Account

Accessing Your Unit Roster

The council periodically updates membership roster information in Black Pug. Using the roster can reduce data entry when registering currently registered youth and adults from your unit.

Out-of-council unit rosters cannot be updated by the Atlanta Area Council.

Registering for Events

Use the registration tools to select participants, provide required information and complete checkout. A participant is not confirmed until checkout is completed, even when no payment is due.

Parent Portal

For eligible events, units may enable Parent Portal so families can make payments directly and, when permitted, manage certain participant selections. Availability varies by event.

Adding Participants and Changing Participant Types

Additional participants and participant-type changes can be managed from an existing registration. Be sure to complete checkout after making changes so the updates are confirmed.

Selecting and Changing Participant Classes

Events such as summer camp, merit badge programs and University of Scouting may require class selections. Participant schedules can be managed through the registration while changes remain available.

Class availability changes in real time.

Changing Participant Information

Participant information can be updated from the existing registration before the event's registration-change deadline.

Accessing Reports

Available registration reports may include invoices, participant rosters, participant schedules, prerequisites and applicable advancement completion information.

Some reports are unavailable until the registration balance is paid in full.
