lesson_todo
Maybe I'm the only one this disorganized, but my assistant and I are constantly asking each other, "Have we taught this lesson yet?" or, "It's my turn to teach, which lesson are we on?" Here's the solution, a python script to create a Backpack(TM) page with a todo list for all the lessons in a Church lesson manual. Go to the lesson_todo page to learn more!

MLS Tips, Tricks, and Hacks

Scouting
ScoutTracker : Scout Tracker tracks Boy Scout advancements towards their Eagle Scout. Scouts can monitor their camping nights, service hours, and leadership. Scoutmasters can let the boys know of incomplete requirements without affecting the boy's advancement records. Worksheets created for the scouts are stored in a database for easy view and hide access. Scouts can view the progress of all scouts to enable them to find other scouts who need to work on the same requirement or merit badge. Only leaders and administrators can change data on the site. The best part is that parents and scouts can access their information anytime they want without having to call the Scoutmaster.
Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Preparedness Database This software helps a ward keep track of what resources are in a ward in case of an emergency. It keeps track of things such as who knows First Aid, who has a 4X4 vehicle, who has extra bedrooms and beds, and other things that would be useful to know in an emergency. The software has search and summary capabilities. It also imports data from MLS (the membership software created by the church)
