Akela Export Instructions

Here are the instructions for generating an Akela export file. We recommend updating your units twice a year, after fall recruitment and at the end of recharter/beginning of named summer camp registration.

Data imports do not replace most current information, such as the primary and alternate contacts for the groups. New members will be added, and any new data will be appended to existing members. Other than Rank and Grade, no data will be removed or overwritten, i.e. members who are no longer with the unit won’t be deleted and old contact information won’t be changed. Removals and data updates must be done manually.

Once completed, we will provide you with a summary report including new account login information you will need to share with your units.

Newly added:

  • Unit Gender is supported. The Akela import will now match Girl, Boy, and Family units.
  • Youth Protection Training Date will be updated if the Akela data is newer than the Tentaroo data for Adult members.
  • Rank and Grade will be overwritten with Akela data for Youth members.
    • These field updates will help councils keep data current for their units.
