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.
There is no option in the event window to enter a custom message in the reminder.
You can select event reminders and enter what you wish to say in your reminder. Then select when you wish the reminder to go out. . The maximum amount of reminders is three
When creating an event (as a Den Leader) with a youth, it requires me to add an additional leader. Even if I add more adults (parents) than you, it will not allow me to create the event until I add a second registered adult.
I created a test event (as a Den Leader/Den Admin) but it entered the event as a Pack event, which I believe should not be possible. Now I have a pack meeting stuck because I don’t have the rights to remove it.
There is no option to add/link activity logs to an event
Actually, can SUAC get a clarification on how the reminders are “counted”?
Use case:
Unit sets up three reminders: Send Now, 14 days before, 7 days before. At the last minute (after the 7 day reminder has gone out), a change occurs and the unit wants to provide notification.
Can the content of the event message be updated and a new Send Now “reminder” be sent, or does this run up against the “3 reminders” limit? Phrased another way, do “Send Now” reminders count against the “3 reminder” limit.
This is because 2 registered leaders over the age of 21 are required to be present at every scouting event. If 2 leaders are not present, you can’t hold the event so the system won’t let you create an event where it thinks that may be possible.

The add link for activity logs is enabled after the event begins.

I understand 2 deep leadership but as a Den Leader (Lion Den at that), I am the only registered leader for the Den. Additionally, since I’m a Lion Den, parents have to be present for their youth. I have 11 youth and 10 adults besides myself (1 parent has brothers in the Den).
So based on this restriction, I’m going to have to add another Den Leader or the Cub Master to every event? What happens when they make their own Den event or the Cub Master starts getting added to every Den’s individual event?
This is correct. Even Lion and Tiger dens must have 2 registered leaders over the age of 21 present at every meeting, even if every Scout has a parent in attendence.
I understand the sprit of the rule in the program but I can still add events without anyone added to create a calendar event.
If I have to add a Cub Master just so I can create the event (and realistically the Cub Master won’t be there because every Den will have to add the Cub Master to their event) it’s going to result in not using the calendar at all.
Just to note, this is currently not a restriction within Scoutbook.
Then it’s a bug because I’ve made every event under the Den option for the entire year inviting all the youth in my Den and all the parents in my Den and everyone of them has worked.
And ideally one or more parents of Scouts in the den would be registered leaders. This provides backup if the den leader has to miss a meeting and eliminates the need to add the cubmaster to all meeting invites.
That would be partially true. If the Den Leader isn’t preset, the other registered adult would not work. So you’d have to have two additional parents registered with the Den Leader (3+ total registered).
