I am attempting to connect a merit badge counselor to my son’s Scoutbook but I can’t find him in the system. Please let me know how to do this.

Sincerely,

Daniel Batten

The search is currently broken - the MBC can add the scout on their side though

There are instructions on how the MBC can do that here: [How Merit Badge Counselors (MBCs) can Connect to Scouts for Merit Badges (SB) - Scoutbook Knowledge Base](https://help.scoutbook.scouting.org/knowledge-base/how-merit-badge-counselors-mbcs-can-connect-to-scouts-for-merit-badges/)
