Actually, it depends on how you want count each day as a seperate activity for 2nd Class and 1st Class activity requirements. If you combine each day as one activity, the Scout only gets counted as one activity as far as TroopMaster is concerned. If the young Tenderfoot shows up for 3 days of a 5 day project, would you not want to count it as three seperate activities towards Second Class?
Just a thought for consideration.

It's actually not important to enter the time on each day for 99.5% of the Scouts. The requirement says X hours while a <rank> Scout. Only if a Scout was having a board of review and advancing during the work phase of a project would hours spent on different days matter. This would most often come into play if there was a multi-week or month delay between starting work and completing the work.
Our troop records <start date of project> <total hours spent by Scout>. Works fine. Saves a lot of wear and tear on adults.

Question for the group. When we enter service project hours for the boys who have worked on Eagle Projects, we’re not sure what is best, to enter the time as a total at the end of the Eagle project or to enter them on the days that the work is done. I know its important to enter the time on the day its done since some ranks need service hours to be completed while in that rank. Is there a way to enter this multiple dates for one entry in activities? The manual really doesn’t talk about this one.
