Unit Deposit Account

Each registered unit (Pack, Troop, Crew, Ship) has a Unit Deposit Account (UDA) on file with the Council Service Center. This account is like a bank account for the unit, where the funds are on account and can be used for purchases through the Program Supply Center, camp and event registrations, or other payments due the council.

The Committee Chair of each registered unit is the “Controller” of the Unit Deposit Account, and can:

  • Add Trusted Persons to the Account and determine their permissions.
  • Make deposits to or charges against the account.
  • Elect to receive notifications when there are transactions posted against the account.
  • Determine an amount the unit considers to be a “low balance” for the account.
  • Elect to receive alerts when there is a low balance in the account.
  • View the Unit Transaction History
  • Access the Unit Roster when registering individuals for camps or activities.
  • Set the permissions for these functions for each of the Trusted Persons.

A second Controller can also be added to the Unit Deposit Account. Please contact TAC-ServiceCenter-802@Scouting.org to have another Controller added.

There is no limit to the number of Trusted Persons that can be assigned to a Unit Deposit Account.

Access your Unit Deposit Account via your Black Pug login at https://scoutingevent.com/?OrgKey=BSA802&reservationFromEmail=true&myRoster

Balances from the former system were migrated into the new system, and the transaction history will remain in the old system and will only be available for a limited time. Statements reflecting all transactions for 2021 through the date of conversion will be emailed to Unit Committee Chairs in the near future.
