Prepare for Base Camp Changes

December 11, 2023

Dear Toastmaster,

As you may have already heard, an improved version of Base Camp is launching early next year. This platform upgrade will bring changes to the Pathways learning experience that members have requested for some time, and we’re excited for future improvements this transition will also be able to support!

Ahead of the launch, there will be a period of time when Base Camp is unavailable while we transition your path progress to the new system. A few items stored on Base Camp won’t transfer from the current version to the new version. You might want to take action now to save them for later access:

- Feedback sent on Base Camp – If you have comments, constructive feedback, or encouragement you would like to reference later, take a screenshot or copy and paste the text of the feedback elsewhere.
- Documents uploaded to My Documents – If you have previously uploaded files you would like to reference later or save in the new version of Base Camp, download them from your My Documents folder and save them to your device. When the new Base Camp is available, you’ll be able to upload your files there.
- Assess Your Skills – In the new version of Base Camp, projects will be redesigned, and the Assess Your Skills activity included in your projects will be replaced with a new type of before and after reflection. If you would like to reference any of your Assess Your Skills answers after the transition, be sure to record them now, either by taking a screenshot or recording them in another manner.
- Understanding Your Leadership Style or Understanding Your Communication Style projects – The answers to the questionnaires in these projects will not transfer to the new system. If you would like to reference them later, go into the project, take a screenshot of your results, or record them in another manner.
- Story Collection Tool in the Engaging Humor path – The information you recorded here will not be available in the new Base Camp. Please copy, paste, and store it elsewhere if you would like to access it later.
- Meeting Roles – If you would like a record of meeting roles you’ve logged on Base Camp, please save your record elsewhere.

We will reach back out to you just before the Base Camp outage to remind you to save the items above and ensure you know what to expect while Base Camp is inaccessible. We can’t wait for you to experience the improved Base Camp next year! In the meantime, please reference the Pathways Updates and Maintenance Schedule page or the Education Programs FAQ page for more information.

Sincerely,

Education Team
