The Calendar feature can be used to keep an up-to-date list of Events for your entire Unit. Each Event can store all the details that a member will need to know to be prepared and find the event on time. The Calendar provides the following views.

• Upcoming Events - shown on the right hand side of the home page, this will show the next 8 events in the Calendar.
• Month - Shows an entire month of events and provides the ability to page through the months.
• Week - Show the events for a specific week. You also have the ability to page through the weeks.
• Detail - Show upcoming events in a table format for the next 1, 2, 3, 6, or 12 months with a text version of the Event details.
• List - Show upcoming events in a table format for the next 1, 2, 3, 6, or 12 months in a compact format - one line per event, grouped by month - suitable for printing.
• Print - Displays a view similar to the Month without the other website content so that it can be formatted to print on your local printer.

To create a Calendar Event, click on "Add Content" under the "Administration" menu. There are two types of events you can create.

• Single Event - Create only one event that may span multiple days
• Recurring Event - Create a series of events based upon a recurrance pattern.

Event fields include:

• Title (required) - The title of the event
• Location (optional) - Where the event is being held
• Start & End Dates (required)
• Start & End Time (optional) - Use the "No Time" checkbox to ignore times
• Details (optional) - provide more specifics about the event
  Required fields are Start Date, End Date, and Location. Optionally, you can add Event Details and file attachments to the Event.

You can edit/update an Event after creating it by clicking on the Title of the Event and then clicking on the "Edit" tab. To delete an Event, follow the procedure for edit/update and then click the "Delete" button.

If you are using the Content Filter feature, you will also be able to select which segment of your Unit this Event applies to, i.e. Den/Patrol, Leaders, Pack/Troop, etc. This feature is only available in the Standard and Advanced packages.

If you have the Advanced package you can also enable Event Signup for an Event through the 'signup admin' tab on the Event. Make sure you have the Event Signup feature turned on at Admin/Control Panel/Features.
