If you have an HTML5 compatible browser you can take advantage of our offline caching feature which saves a copy of our references directly on your device so they're available when you are not online. You can choose which sections you want to cache. Enjoy looking up merit badge or rank requirements while camping or looking up the LDS Duty to God or Faith in God requirements when you don't have an internet connection.

Our Cub Scout Reference is the largest of the bunch. Just use the slider to turn on caching for the section you want. All our caching sections are OFF by default.

If you don't see the option to turn on/off the offline storage it probably means your browser does not support AppCache (offline caching). So far we have tested this feature on iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad latest versions. Google Chrome also works well with this feature.

Once the cache is done downloading to your device you will be able to see which sections are cached by looking for the airplane icon which is displayed next to the sections you have cached.

We hope you enjoy using this offline feature. Please let us know what you think and what devices it works on.

    We recently turned off the caching feature and will be launching it again soon inside the My Dashboard area for logged in members.

    Be sure to create a FREE account if you don't already have one. This feature will remain free to all our members.

    I can't find where you enable caching. It seems like this feature was dropped four years ago and has not been re-implemented, is that correct?
