Welcome! This forum has a treasure trove of great info – Scouters helping Scouters! Just a heads up, though - all content, information, and opinions shared on this forum are those of the author, not the BSA.
When I input our events for the 2025-2026 season, I selected the Auto Add Future checkbox for all our regular pack events. But as we have recruited new families, it has not been adding them to the events.
We are expecting to add a scout here and there for the next several months. It’s incredibly onerous to have to edit each individual event every time we have 1 scout join the pack.
Is there a window of dates where this didn’t take? Like if you added a new event over the last 2 weeks you would need to manual updates. I have a hundred plus events over 10 months and all boxes checked.
@ThomasCline I misspoke, it’s actually new members added to the unit going forward will be added automatically. So, you don’t have to babysit all old events going forward forever. I’ll edit be response above, too.
WARNING! DANGER, DANGER WILL ROBINSON (some will get it). The Auto Add feature is still not working as of September 23…. DO NOT RELY ON THIS FEATURE YET.
Developers have requested MIDs of Scouts and adults that were not added, when they joined and enough details on the calendar event so they can find it.
Ed – I won’t update for a few days, but this is our meeting announcement for October 1, so I need to update nlt Sept 28 if I am to get reminders sent out in a timely fashion.
SUAC only needs the Member IDs, @RickHillenbrand, not the names. The forums are world-readable, so they’re trying to minimize the amount of PII that hits here.
