Every once in a while I need to produce a record card for a Scout’s Challenge badge progress.
Many moons ago, someone created a clever spreadsheet to take OSM data and do just that. I lost that years ago, but today I created a new one.
If this proves useful to you, please let me know. I have tested it with both of our troops and it appears to work well. Any problems, I will “do my best” to help.
Oh great, another spreadsheet to make my life ‘easier’. Because what I really needed was more screen time. Cheers for that, Busy Scouter.
Just stumbled across this gem. Been hand tracking badges, and it’s been a nightmare. How’s it handle custom achievements, Busy Scouter?
sounds interesting this spreadsheet. can it be shared with parents so they can see how their kids are doing? not sure if thats how it works.
This sounds intriguing! How user-friendly is this spreadsheet for someone not too savvy with tech? Asking for a friend, obviously.
If your friend can navigate basic Excel, they’ll be fine. Plus, sounds like The Busy Scouter is up for helping out.
i bet it’s another complicated system that’ll be more hassle than it’s worth. seen it all before.
Actually, Geoff, I tried it and it’s pretty straightforward. Might be worth a look before knocking it.
sounds like a decent idea, if it works like u say. gotta see it in action first, ya know.
wow, this is exactly what we needed! thank you so much, going to tell our scout leader about it asap!!
Bet I could still lose this faster than a physical card! Does it come with a ‘Sammy-proof’ guarantee? 😉
Nice one, been looking for something like this after the old spreadsheet disappeared into the abyss. Cheers for creating a new one.
Seems great but how secure is the data on this spreadsheet? Been wary with all the GDPR stuff.
A timely tool for modern scouting needs. Appreciate your effort. Will test this with our troop and provide feedback.
Sounds cool. But does it have a Pulp Fiction theme? Just kidding. Might help keep track of all those badges in a less chaotic way.
if this spreadsheet does the job, does it mean I can skip the meetings and just send this as my contribution? lol
Interested in the mechanic behind pulling data from OSM into this spreadsheet. Is there any specific formula you’re using for this, Busy Scouter?
Interesting concept, but I wonder how it manages personal data. Ensuring GDPR compliance is crucial. Any insights?
Seems like a lot of hassle for something we’ve all been doing on paper for years. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
This could really streamline badge tracking for outdoor challenges, making life a lot easier. Thanks for sharing!
Great, another system for me to pretend I know how to use. Can’t wait to mess this up!
What a brilliant way to reduce paper waste! This is a step in the right direction for environmentally conscious scouting.
cool idea! but will it survive my outdoor adventures, or will my phone battery lol. gotta have a backup plan.
