Outdoor Ethics Event Reporting
How does the Event Reporting work?
- We set up a secure reporting webpage specifically for your Council.
(secure.OutdoorEthics-BSA.org/YourCouncilName/report) - You (COEA) send the reporting webpage URL to your Council's OE course leads, Trainers & MEs, asking them to use it to report all their OE teaching activities.
- You also have an Admin webpage to see everything which has been submitted.
- At the end of the year (and some friendly reminders to your folks), your admin page has a nice summary with (most of) the numbers you need to fill out your Annual Report.
What are the Advantages?
- Your course leads, Trainers & Masters have an easy way to report their Outdoor Ethics teaching activities throughout the year.
- The COEA has a nice summary of everything that has been reported, and easy access to the details.
The activities are categorized and summarized to show numbers you need for your Annual Report.
How do I sign up?
COEA - simply send an email to webmaster@OutdoorEthics-BSA.org requesting the OE Event Reporting for your Council.
When it is set up, he will send you the Reporting Form link and your Admin page link with your ID/password.

More Details
Event Types:
- The event types on the reporting page are the same ones we ask about on the Annual Report.
- Since the Admin page summarizes events by type, the info is organized just like it will be needed for the Annual Report.
- Configurable - the reporting potentially has some additional things that we don't ask for on the annual report, but which the COEA may want to know about. If needed, we can configure the list of event types by council.
Admin Access:
- The Admin page is password-protected to maintain confidentiality of the information and prevent tampering.
- The Admin ID and Password is assigned to the COEA when the Council's reporting is set up.
- If the COEA wants someone else to also have access, they should request that an additional ID/password be set up for that person.
- We initially assign a random password, but can set the password to be something else you request (DO NOT send us a password you use on any other sensitive accounts!)
Admin Summary is Organized by Year:
- An Event Date is required whenever a report is submitted.
- The admin page will show a separate report for each different year with reported events.
- Still trying to gather your past year's' info? - Have your folks submit their past events.
- Report future events as they happen!
