+====== Import Format ======
+**An export from MyScouts can be imported directly into ScoutsTracker.  The following information applies only if you have records for youth and leaders in a non-MyScouts spreadsheet.**
+  * The spreadsheet must be in an .xls format (i.e., //not// .xlsx)
+  * A header row must exist, and **//must be on row 2//** (//row 1 is ignored//).
+  * All the header labels specified below are case insensitive (i.e., you can use upper or lower-case letters, or a mix... it doesn't matter)
+  * You cannot add or remove bits from the header labels (e.g., if the required label is ''Email Address'', then you cannot just specify ''Email'')
+  * It does not matter which columns are which order (e.g., you can make column 1 be ''First Name'' or ''Member Type'' or ''Status'')
+  * Columns not specified below will be safely ignored (i.e., if you have a custom ''Allergies'' column, it will not interfere with the import)
+^Column Label ^ Required? ^ Default Value ^ Description ^

+* //Not all name columns must be specified, but **at least one** of ''First Name'', ''Last Name'' or ''Display Name'' must be.//
+===== Example =====
+The following is an example of a spreadsheet that would be successfully be imported.  It would create two leader records, three youth records, and the Logins for two leaders and one youth.  The custom ''Allergies'' column would be ignored.
