The free scheduling poll for scout troops

Why scheduling this is hard
Every scouting family juggles school runs, siblings' activities, and shift work on different nights.
Weekend campouts and badge days need a full weekend blocked off, not just an hour.
Volunteer leaders can't chase 25 parents across email, texts, and the pickup line.
How the poll works
Create your poll
Pick the dates and time range you want to offer. Your shareable link is ready in under a minute.
Share one link
Send it wherever your group already talks. Nobody needs an account to respond, on any device.
Read the heatmap
Every response shades the grid. The darkest slot is your time. Done.
Why Timespree fits
One link for every family
Parents open the link and shade free times on their phone. No account, no app, no scouting login needed.
Plan meetings and campouts
Poll a single evening or a full weekend, and the heatmap shows which dates the most families can commit to.
No cap on the troop
A small den or a 40-scout troop with siblings is free, with no per-family charge.
Leaders get emailed
You get an email as parents respond, so you can confirm the date without running a phone tree.
A real example
A troop leader, Karen, is planning a spring campout. She shares a poll of three candidate weekends in the parents' group, and families shade the dates they can make. The second weekend in May is darkest, so she books the campsite for those dates.
Frequently asked questions
- Do parents need a scouting account to respond?
- No. They open the shared link, enter a name, and shade free times. No sign-up, app, or organization login is required.
- Can I poll for a whole campout weekend?
- Yes. Set the poll to span full days across candidate weekends, and the heatmap shows which dates the most families can attend.
- Is it free for a large troop with siblings?
- Yes. There is no participant limit and no cost, so every parent and helper can respond for free.
