Scout Troop Communication App | ClassDojo
Troops run on ClassDojo
Meeting reminders, campout photos, and sign-ups for every family in your troop, in one free app. Many of your families already use it with their child's school.
“It's really important that we're able to directly communicate in a way that aligns with our mission and vision with our families — and ClassDojo allows us to do that instantly.”

Meeting night reminders that actually get read
Every troop has the parent who missed the email and the scout who shows up without the gear. Send the reminder, the packing list, and a photo from last weekend's campout from one place, and let families reply with their questions before Tuesday night.

Emre's been a great helper! He even stayed after today to help clean up.

Send meeting reminders, packing lists, and quick notes from your phone, and families can reply. Everything translates automatically into 190+ languages.
Campout photos for the parents at home
Post photos and videos from campouts, badge work, and service projects, so families can see what their scout got up to all weekend.
Campouts, badge days, and who's driving

Frequently asked questions
Is ClassDojo free for our troop?
Yes. ClassDojo is free for your troop, your leaders, and your families. ClassDojo offers optional services directly to families, like ClassDojo Plus and Dojo Tutor, and that's what keeps it free for everyone else. We never sell personal information, and we never share it with advertisers.
Which age groups does ClassDojo work for?
Troops use ClassDojo with every age they serve, from the youngest scouts through teens. Leaders choose what each group sees, so the experience fits the kids in the room.
How do our troop leaders get set up?
Any leader can create the troop and invite families in a few minutes, from a phone. No IT project, no training day.
How do families join?
Staff share an invite link or code, and families connect from the free app on their phone. Many families already use ClassDojo with their child's school, so there's often nothing new to download at all.
How is our program's data protected?
Your program's information belongs to your program. ClassDojo is COPPA-compliant, never sells personal information, and never shares it with advertisers — see our privacy and security page for the full detail.
Does this work for our troop?
Yes. Troops of all kinds use ClassDojo, including Scouting America and Girl Scout troops. ClassDojo isn't affiliated with either organization. It's simply the free app your leaders and families use to stay connected.
Our families already use ClassDojo at school. Do they need a new account?
No. Families connect to your troop from the same app and the same account they already have, so troop updates arrive right alongside their child's school.
Our leaders are volunteers. Is this one more thing to learn?
No training, no IT help, and no setup day. If you can send a text, you can send your first troop update, and it's free for every leader and every family.
