| Troop Pro | Active troop/pack | Member portal, fundraiser tools, merit badge workflows | ✅ 1 domain (e.g. troop440.org) |
| Council | Multi-unit councils | Multi-unit admin, reporting, role templates, support | ✅ Council domain mapping (e.g. scouts.etac.org) |
Domain mapping example: council points CNAME to TroopHost, and we route domain → /tx/etac/troop/440 or /tx/etac/pack/440.
