Calendar

[ScottMarbut]

Our Pack 110 in Okinawa, Japan GMT/UTC +9 is a full day ahead of US time. Scoutbook displays US time, So when we add an event into scoutbook locally it displays the event 12 hours late and the reminders are posted after the event has occured. Is there a way a unit can set the Scoutbook calander for the local time zone?

Very Respectfully,

Scott

This has been requested but we do not know when it will be implemented

Some May 2019 discussion topics

Attendance mode too early

This is a known issue. The calendar is set to Central Standard Time. Events will switch from RSVP to attendance mode 1 hour before the event start in Central Standard time. There is no workaround and we do not know when it will be fixed.

Is there any roadmap or list of features that are being developed?

The BSA does not release the development backlog. They have stated the calendar system will eventually go through a major update. RSVP improvements are on the requested feature list. At this time we do not have the final feature list or schedule.
