DTG input

[mmregello]

I'm setting up our TM4/DotNet and under the Database Management, one
of the selections is DTG.  I figure that DTG is Duty To God, but where
is this information usually entered?? (I don't see it on the Scout
screen at all.)  It appears that it might be LDS-specific.  If not,
how are other Troops using it (as in what information do you gather,
and where do you record it)?  Thanks!

Duty to God is LDS specific.

It will only show up under advancment if the LDS Unit is checked in the
unit information.

I just got a list of special awards from our advancement chair with one Scout and his dad (an ASM) with Duty to God earned this summer. We're not an LDS unit, so how do I handle this with TM?

Thanks.

As a counselor for multiple levels in the God and Country program for our
Church, I would point out that while the awards are encouraged and
recognized by BSA, strictly speaking they are not reviewed or approved by
Boy Scouts of America. They are reviewed according to the implementation
method of the religious group sponsoring the award, and are awarded through
that channel, not BSA.

 

That being said, the only way I've seen to credit then in TroopMaster is via
"advancement" - open the record for scout, hit the advancement button for
individual advancement, then hit Special Awards. You won't find any of the
God and Country awards listed, but in the middle of the special  advancement
menu you should see a button for "other". If you click it, it will open up
and you can manually enter the name of an award, and once you do that and
hit return you get a box to enter the date of the award.

 

If anyone has another method, I'd be interested in learning about it.

I found out that the summer camp had a religious award also called "Duty to God". It's not LDS related after all. I'll use the Define button to add a new special award for it and put it in.

Thanks.
