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.
I keep getting emails from Scoutbook and I no longer have a charter with the BSA. I cannot unsubscribe to these emails and there is no way to get ahold of anyone to remove my account. I do not know any of the charter number, only the Council I belonged to. It was the Grand Canyon Council in Gilbert, AZ. I tried logging in to see if I can change the preferences but the Council is gone and I cant reset my password either, I get the same error.
How can I remove my account and the email notifications?
With regard to Scoutbook emails (i.e. emails sent from Scoutbook itself, rather than notices from the forums or from the council), there should be an unsubscribe link at the bottom of the emails that looks something like this:
It’s the very last line in all of the emails I receive through Scoutbook.
What was your role when you were associated with the BSA? Were you a unit leader, a merit badge counselor, a parent without a leadership role, a scout? What unit were you affiliated with if you were a unit-level volunteer/parent/scout? That might help SUAC with tracking down what’s going on.
Regarding your former council, GCC is still out there: https://www.grandcanyonbsa.org/. I’m not sure what you mean about them being gone.
Thanks for replying Charley.
There is no unsubscribe at the bottom of the email.
I was a unit leader/scout master with Troop 823.
I mis spoke about Grand Canyon Council being gone. I just meant that the charter I was with is no longer affiliated with BSA.
I am logging into scoutbook.scouting.org

Ah, OK. Those are council-sent messages. I’ve never seen one before, since our council doesn’t use Scoutbook to communicate with leaders. I would have assumed that they would similarly have an unsubscribe option. For that, it might be worth trying to contact the council to see whether or not they think you’re still registered.
@JenniferOlinger confirmed what I suspected was the case: Scoutbook still has you associated with a unit, potentially because the unit was never “archived” after it wasn’t rechartered.

@AaronBloom Are you able to log in to Scoutbook using your my.scouting username and password?
You appear to have a leadership position in Scoutbook, plus connections to Scouts.
