Adding Persons To Activities in Scoutbook Plus

My Scouting Tools Internet Advancement
1

I’m a dual enrolled committee member. I am the advancement chair for one troop, and am on the advancement team for a second troop.
1- I was able to add activities and persons for both troops until May 2024. I can still add activities for both, but can only add persons to activities in the troop in which I am advancement chair. The scoutmaster for the second troop says he only is only able to add one person as advancement from his end. Is there a new rule, or an oversight?
2- There have been times when I have been logged into one troop and Scoutbook Plus has shown me data for the other troop. Once was in July when I was trying to add summer camp dates and attendees. Another was tonight when I went to the calendar page.

Is there an explanation? Perhaps a fix?

Are you admin in both units?

No, I am an admin for neither unit, but have had full advancement permissions for both until this spring. (The only exclusion has been my son’s advancement per troop policy.) The advancement chair in his troop has been mentoring me for the 1.5 years that I have held that role for the newer troop. My permissions for both troops include approving advancement items, printing advancement reports, and adding activities (camping, hiking, service) information for both troops. It makes little sense that I can do all of these things, but I cannot add persons to camping, hiking, and service activities for the troop in which I am not the advancement chair.

What is even more peculiar was the instance when I was entering summer camp advancements for the troop in my primary unit and the names of the secondary unit (the scouts to who I currently do not have access) populated instead. That was a one-time occurrence.

I have cleared my cookies cache. I have tried logging out and back in. The scoutmaster has reviewed permissions in Connection Manager.

Well that is not really how the system works. You are a Committee Member for the Male troop. For the Female troop you are Unit Advancement Chair and Unit Admin, the admin position gives you alot more access and control to achieve tasks.

So I am guessing you are having issues with the Male troop?

5

Yes. Only since May.

6

Are troops only allowed one advancement person to add persons to activities now?

7

Units can only have one UAC I believe - but you could be made just an Admin for the unit as well is Scoutbook

That makes sense. I’ll talk to the scoutmaster and committee chair about it.
