From first activity to finished portfolio.
Getting started takes minutes. Here is exactly how My Award Tracker turns everyday effort into a record you can be proud of.
Five steps, then it runs on its own
The tracking, totals, and progress bars all happen automatically — you just keep logging.
Sign up and pick your goals
A one-screen setup asks the student's name, graduation year and what the hours are for: Arkansas, Maryland or DC graduation, Bright Futures, Missouri A+, the Congressional Award, the Gold Award, NHS or your school. Pick several.
Log as you go
Add an activity in 30 seconds from your phone: date, hours, organization, category. One optional question asks what changed because you were there. Leaders can log once for the whole group.
Get hours verified
Send your supervisor a one-click request; they confirm by email, no account needed. In a troop or club, leaders approve members' hours in bulk.
Follow your weekly pace
Each goal shows hours left and the pace you need before the deadline. A Sunday email, a weekly streak and hour badges keep you moving.
Hand it in
Download the hours form for signatures, a verified record with a QR code, a brag sheet for recommendations and your Common App activities list, written with AI from your own records.
Know every week if you're on track
Completed and verified hours count toward each goal automatically. The pace line compares what you need per week with what you did in the last four weeks.
On track: 1.1 h/week until May 31
Behind: needs 1.6 h/week; last 4 weeks 0.9
Illustrative progress — your real numbers update automatically.
Three habits that make tracking effortless
A little consistency is all it takes to reach application season with a complete, verified record.
Log little and often
A 30-second entry after each activity beats rebuilding a year from memory. One activity a week keeps your streak alive.
Ask for verification the same day
Supervisors remember you best right after the shift. Verified hours are what forms, scholarships and your QR record rely on.
Read your Sunday note
It shows each goal and the pace you need this week, so you adjust early instead of cramming senior spring.
