If it isn't web-accessible then parents continue to be largely "out of 
the loop" on their son's status in scouts and we continue to spend money 
out of our YM budgets for TroopMaster licenses. Why would we want to 
take the time to change to save about $40/yr? However, collectively with 
all the wards this could add up for the Church as a whole. We don't 
think collectively at the ward level, however. Therefore, $40/yr for 
scout tracking software can be easily budgeted for to save a headache.

Each parent could have their own copy of the scout tracking software... 
Wrong. Installing and supporting an application on every parent's 
computer is impractical. We would end up fixing parent's operating 
system issues for the most part. Scout masters want to be scout masters 
and not software support specialist.
