How are you using the fields in advancement.
Like the comment section? Is there anything good to keep noted there?
Also when do you use approved separate from completed? I see it helpful for accountability with my own child. But any other scenarios this has been helpful.
Comments:
This depends a lot on what type of unit you’re in. Generally, this is anything that you might want to track in the future (e.g. which activities count for a given requirement when the requirements state that the same activities can’t count for multiple requirements), or that the scout might want to communicate to the Approver (e.g. photos of signature page from physical handbook).
Approved vs Completed:
This is not just an accountability issue. The two are fundamentally different in function. Completed just means a scout thinks they’re done/ready to be tested. Approved means that the relevant scouter has reviewed the work and “signed-off”. The latter is what pushes the completion to the official advancement database (just like signature in the handbook means that it’s been approved by the relevant reviewing authority).
@JacqueDuran- my advice is to read the guide to advancement
Approval is the role of the scoutmaster or unit leader or their designated people. Now with the new permissions structure the youth can now sign off on advancement as they would do in the physical book.
