Anyone using Quicken for income and expense tracking for Scouting?

Hello, I am new to this community and a newly appointed Cub Scout Treasurer. I'm exploring options from Excel to Quickbooks for managing Cub Scout finances and wondering if there is anyone in this community that has hands-on, practical experience with this. Some IRL (in real life) things that need to be accounted for are:
- Scout annual dues
- Different annual fees per scout
- Multiple fundraisers
- Scout fundraising amounts aggregated to an event level
- Linking to a bank and PayPal account
- Annual budgeting and monthly tracking

I have seen references to using Quicken successfully and people creating Quicken accounts per scout but don't know what this means exactly without getting hands on the software. Any practical experience and advice is appreciated.

Thank you,

Patrick

Having been the treasurer of a Boy Scout troop, there are programs built specifically for scouting and I would suggest looking into them rather than trying to twist Quicken into working for you.
