ARC chapters own and co-locate hundreds of supply trailers across the country — but no one has a complete picture of what exists, where it sits, what's inside, or whether it's even still there. Many are locked. Some are lost entirely. Traditional staff-led audits are expensive, slow, and rarely finished. The result: invisible infrastructure that can't be counted on when disaster strikes.

Gamification is not a gimmick. It is a well-documented behavioral psychology technique — used by the military, public health agencies, and Fortune 500 companies — that drives real participation by activating intrinsic motivation through points, rank, visible progress, and peer competition. When people can see their standing, their chapter's standing, and a clear path to recognition, completion rates improve dramatically over traditional ask-and-hope approaches.

Here, volunteers get a Survey123 link and a list of locations. They go find the trailer, photograph all four sides, and submit. Points post instantly to a live public scoreboard. The map lights up in real time. Chapters compete against each other. The top scouts — not just one, but a tier of leaders — earn recognition and prizes. The volunteer who confirms the most missing trailers is just as celebrated as the one who finds the most.

The ask is minimal: open a link, take four photos, tap submit. Under five minutes. No app install. Works on any phone.
