We frequently print out unit rosters for all of our units for rechartering and other activities from Scoutnet. The only format that they will print in is alphabetical by unit type and then by unit number.
In our council, most of our sponsors have a full compliment of Scouting (Pack, Troop, Team, Crew). When printing all the rosters in the district, we end up spending an hour or more sorting the 200 or so units to their respective charter partners. It would be VERY helpful to have the option to print rosters by charter partner instead of by unit type and unit number. Getting them to also print in order of program from youngest to oldest (i.e., Pack, Troop, Team, Crew instead of alphabetically - Crew, Pack, Team, Troop) would be an added bonus.
Also, there is an option to print the adults only, but no option to print only the youth members.

I work in the Development Department and we need to produce invitations and cards for our many special events, and the printing costs certainly add up. My suggestion is to design your own invitations, Christmas cards, etc. and upload them to an on-line site with a quick turn-around. I use VistaPrint.com, and we have been able to save 1/3 - 1/2 over our local Sir Speedy. This DOES involve taking/making the time to design the complete card (PhotoShop and/or Publisher), but you save time in the long run by not having to run back and forth to the print shop. Another big plus is that you control the copy and don't have to worry about someone else making errors on your piece. With VistaPrint.com you also have the option of uploading your graphics and working with a designer for $12.95. You and the designer will be speaking over the phone and s/he will be making changes and posting updated proofs in front of your eyes! Still another advantage is that you are able to order small amounts without a paying horrendous price per piece. I have used this company for 15 years now and recommend them highly. One word of advice - tell them you do NOT want www.VistaPrint.com printed on the back of your cards or it WILL be there!

When printing a roster out of scoutnet, it only says "Unit Roster" in the printing field. It would be better if it identified the unit (e.g., pack 493, team 511). As it stands right now, when you're pulling multiple units from scoutnet, if you don't print them all right away you have to open them up to ID them.
