The Latest post on [Scoutingmagazine.org](http://Scoutingmagazine.org) gave indication that the new calendar was able to automatically be able to add/delete people to events when they Join or depart a unit.

I am not seeing this behavior operate this way.

Will this feature be happening soon? I spent about an hour the other day going thru events that needed to have new members added/old members removed.

Thanks

That has not yet been implemented. The BSA does not release schedules when features will become available.

There was a change log entry that indicated events would be visible to all in the unit regardless of invited or not.

@RobertMckeever

Being invited to an event is different than the event being visible on the calendar.

Members invited to an event will receive reminder e-mails and can RSVP.

@JasonKracht

You can use the Scoutbook Feature Assistant Extension for Chrome and Firefox to quickly add new members to multiple events until the feature to add them automatically is finished.

The link to add new invitees to events is on the My Dashboard page. Click on Events to see “Add New Invitees to Events”

Search the Chrome or Firefox extension stores for Scoutbook.

The point of my post is that National ([blog.scoutingmagazine.org](http://blog.scoutingmagazine.org)) has publicised that this feature is there, but as far as i can tell it doesnt work yet.

@JasonKracht

Different silos at National. They don’t always talk to each other. The feature to automatically update the invite list has not been released.

@JasonKracht When is the last time a new member was added to your roster? When is the last time one was dropped from the official roster?

@JasonKracht The developers report that they see the automated process added those scouts to many events in the database. Do you have an event ID that you had to add them manually to?

I dont have which events that i added them to since i think it was most of the events for our unit. Do we know how long between when a scout is added to a roster & when the script runs? Perhaps the sceipt ran after i manually added them.

Adding my situation to this thread in case more data helps. We’re a “year in advance” Pack, and I’ve been adding events a month at a time.

Two new members have joined:

SB User ID:13744398  
BSA Member ID:140977109

SB User ID:13744399  
BSA Member ID:140975412

They were not automatically added to any events which had been created at the time they joined, including:

5825264  
5825266

@AdrienneVincent-Phoe are the events like Pack Meeting or something that should include all?
