Expand the calendar's event categories to cover Training, OA/District, Holiday & School Break, and Recruitment events, each color-coded, with a muted style for holidays and no-meeting days. Filter chips let you show or hide event types (and past events) so the calendar stays readable across a full program year.

Stay in the loop automatically: get notified when a signup is submitted/approved/denied, when a charge or credit posts, or when trip details change — with a bell/inbox in your portal and matching emails. Financial notifications always reach you; families with more than one scout get a single consolidated email instead of one per kid.

Let parents pay down their scout's account balance or a specific trip fee right inside S4S with a credit/debit card or a low-fee bank transfer (ACH). Payments post straight to the scout's ledger, the troop receives the money directly to their own bank account, and everyone gets a receipt. Troops choose whether to absorb the processing fee or pass a small convenience fee to parents. This replaces chasing Venmo/Zelle/checks and manually recording every payment.
