The TLC Regional Report Viewer is a Chrome extension designed to streamline the extraction and downloading of information from Trail Life Connect (TLC) in CSV format. This extension allows users to utilize the website's existing filtering capabilities to obtain specific data, including names, roles, troop information, and more from various pages within TLC. It supports multiple pages, including:
- Area Troop Members: Extract data on troop members with customizable filters.
