# Bug Fixes

- Award Approval
  - An issue that prevented awards for other programs, (ex: Cub Scout awards that were not approved before cross over to a Troop) has been fixed.

- Merit Badges
- An issue that allowed a Merit Badge completion date to be earlier than the latest requirement completion date has been fixed. The completion date must be the same date or after the latest requirement date.
- Merit Badge Counselors
  - An issue that prevented a Merit Badge Counselor (MBC) with a large number of Merit Badges (MB) or Scouts counseled from seeing the MBs has been fixed. **Note:** An MBC with a large number of Scouts counseled will see a long lag before the MBs appear. Performance will be improved with a future fix.

# New Features

- None
