Black Pug Replaces Tentaroo

December 4, 2025
The council registration system is in the process of moving from Tentaroo to Black Pug. This change will allow us to better manage our events and camps, creating a smoother experience for everyone. We ask for your patience as we work to complete the move by 12/31/25. Some of the existing council events have shifted to Black Pug. If you already registered for an event or camp you DO NOT need to re-register. The links on the registration pages will be updated as each event is loaded.
If you have any questions, please email kthompson@seattlebsa.org. Responses may be delayed as we complete this important upgrade. Set up your new account at https://scoutingevent.com/000/Login/
