How it could work
Same event. Two very different weeks.
Picture your next campout, tournament or field trip. None of these tools is bad on its own. Together, they turn every event into a week of reminding, chasing and double-checking.
Telling people
How it usually goes: You post the date in the group chat. By Thursday it's two hundred messages up, under a debate about snacks.
How it could go: You post it once and send one announcement. It reaches everyone on your roster, even the families who never opened the chat.
Who's coming
How it usually goes: You scroll back and count. Two families answered in the wrong thread, and three said "maybe".
How it could go: A parent answers for each of their kids in one step. You just read the number.
Collecting the money
How it usually goes: It arrives by Venmo, by cash, and as a check tucked in a cleat bag. Someone is comparing two apps and an envelope.
How it could go: Families pay when they RSVP. Cash and checks go on the same list, so one list shows who's paid.
Finding help
How it usually goes: You ask for volunteers. Again. The same five parents say yes.
How it could go: Each family picks a job as they RSVP. One list shows who's still short, so you only nudge those families.
The day before
How it usually goes: You're the reminder. "Don't forget!" goes out at 9:40 at night.
How it could go: The reminders you turned on once have already gone out.
Next year
How it usually goes: It all lives in your head, and in a folder that leaves when you do.
How it could go: Plan next year copies the whole event forward, for you or for whoever comes next.
Same event. This time, you get to enjoy it.

Four words across the top
Most people see Home, Calendar, Messages and Money. For most families, that short menu is the whole thing.
You only see what you turn on
Beyond the basics, each tool stays out of sight until your group switches it on.
Everyone sees their part
The treasurer sees the money, a coach sees the team, and a parent sees their own family's part.
Start with one thing
What's giving you the most trouble?
Pick one. You can leave the rest alone until you're ready.
Reaching familiesThe field change got buried under the snack schedule.
Send one announcement. Everyone on your roster gets it by email, joined or not, and you can see who it reached. Your group chat can stay for the carpool swaps.
To start: Nothing to switch on. This works from the start.
Who's coming, and who's helpingYou count replies in a thread, then ask the same five parents again.
Families answer for each child in one step and pick their jobs as they do. One list shows who's short, so you can stop asking everyone.
To start: Nothing to switch on. Add jobs to any event.
Collecting moneyVenmo, cash, and a check in a cleat bag.
Families pay when they RSVP, with cash and checks on the same list and tracked until they're deposited. Dues work the same way.
To start: Connect Stripe, the payment company, to take cards. Switch on Membership dues if you collect them.
Keeping the booksA shoebox of receipts, and a treasurer thinking about quitting.
Reimbursements come in with their receipts and get approved right from the email, and a record of your money keeps itself. On Grouperly Plus, the treasurer's report is ready when the committee asks.
To start: Switch on Books & Finances.
Finding new familiesNobody can find you, and the ones who ask get forgotten.
A public page lets people follow your group and ask to join, while your roster stays private. On Grouperly Plus, a QR sign and a follow-up list make sure nobody who asked gets lost.
To start: Give your group a public page in its settings. Recruiting is a switch on Plus.
Handing off to the next leaderIt all lives in your head, and you'd like a break.
Roles keep their own guides and tasks for whoever holds them next. Yearly events keep each year's details, and Plan next year copies them forward.
To start: Switch on Roles and Playbooks & progress.
Getting started
Set it up tonight. By yourself.
No committee, no training session, and nobody's permission. It takes an evening, and your group chat can stay until your families are settled in.
- 1
Create your group
Name it and say what kind of group it is. Packs and troops can start from a ready-made setup.
- 2
Bring your spreadsheet
Grouperly matches your columns and keeps parents and kids together. Nobody gets an email until you say so.
- 3
Post one event and say hello
Send one announcement. Everyone on your roster gets it by email, with their own link to join.
Safe for families
Built for groups with kids in them.
Parents stay in the loop
Every message from an adult to a young member copies that child's parent, or it isn't sent.
What's inside stays inside
Your roster and messages stay in your group. If you keep a public page, it shows only your group's name, description, location and what you mark public.
A parent says yes first
Children under 13 get their own login only once their group turns child accounts on and a parent consents.
No risk in trying
Nothing to lose, and your evenings to gain.
Free, for real
Unlimited members, events and messages for as long as you like. No trial clock and no credit card.
One price if you want more
Grouperly Plus is $10 a month for the whole group, never per family. Most of what's here is free without it.
Leave any time
Download your roster, documents and money records whenever you want. Nothing is locked in, and we never show ads or sell your information.

Get back to the part you said yes to.
It's free, it takes an evening, and your families won't have to install a thing.
