Adding Scout to Den

One of the most common reasons I will enter Scoutbook Plus between now and November is to add new Scouts to a Den. I’d like to see the unassigned scouts quickly and easily assign them to a Den.

I’d like to suggest that a new box be added where Scouts Not Assigned to a Den are automatically filtered to a smaller list for ease of assigning them to a Den. This will help reduce accidently selecting a Scout who has already been assigned to a Den to move to a new Den as well.

The below screenshot recommends my suggestion.

Thanks for the consideration.

As another suggestion, I’d offer that the header bar in the table allow unassigned Scouts to be directly assigned to a Den without having to edit a pre-existing Den. This would be more intuitive as the subject is the Scout that needs to be assigned to a Den.

For example:

Thanks again for the consideration,

@RyanHendrickson add to den is already there - just hover over 3 dots for a scout -

You can also filter on unassigned scouts from the roster page.

My issue is I put a scout into the wrong den and now I can’t reassign him to a lower rank den. So now I can’t enter his adventures.

Edit the den you want to move the Scout to. Click on the Scout’s name in the Available Scouts box then click Save Changes.

@DonovanMcNeil “add to den is already there - just hover over 3 dots for a scout”

I see that now… Thank you. Some initial feedback on that… Those ellipses are really not obvious at all. If there’s an action for a row in a table, I’d recommend putting it either left with that primary subject (typical check box style) or the last column in the row. Putting a row action in the middle doesn’t draw the eyes to it.
