Steve,

You need to log into [my.scouting.org](http://my.scouting.org) then go to Menu → Unit → Organization Security Manager and set the Unit Advancement Chair. The position ends every time the Council processes your recharter so this must be done anually.

After doing this, your advancement chair will have access to Internet Advancement.

If you are looking to give them access to Scoutbook, go to your unit roster, click +Add then add the Unit Admin roll to the individual.

Thanks Ed, but I do not have any options to do that on my login. We rechartered in November and still have old Charter Org Rep listed for our unit

It takes 24 hours for Scoutbook access to be added. When did you add her as a Key 3 Delegate?

If you want to give her immediate access to Scoutbook, you can do so by:

1. Go to your Troop Roster page in Scoutbook
2. Click on the “+Add Leader” button underneath the list of Leaders
3. Use the “Search For Existing User” to search for her by name or e-mail address
4. Add her position as Unit Advancement Chair
5. Add her role as Troop Admin

This will allow her to access Scoutbook immediately, but Internet Advancement 2.0 uses different permissions. If you designated her as a Key 3 Delegate, then she should be able to access IA 2.0 after about 24-48 hours.

Please be aware that the Organization Security Manager functional roles at [my.scouting.org](http://my.scouting.org) (my.Scouting Tools) expire every year and need to be reset after your unit’s recharter has been processed by your local council.

Jennifer, neither I (Committee Chair) or Kimberly McKonkey(Advancement Chair) are able to add to a Scouts activity logs. We can view them but not add to them. It’s very frustrating

Thanks

Thank you!! I had very limited access via mobile device. On my laptop I am able to access all. One additional question though. When Scoutbook first began, as Committee Chairman, I had access to the adult profiles and could add nights camping and other data such as OA induction, nights camping and Brotherhood conversion. Has this portion been removed or is there a way to continue to add these elements to the adult files??

Kindest regards,

@SteveGressmire IIRC, we could not add nights of camping / service hours / hiking miles to other adults in Scoutbook, because of the way the system was originally designed. However, you can add OA information to another adult’s Edit Profile and turning the OA Member toggle on.

Using the new activity logs in IA 2.0, you can now add nights of camping / service hours / hiking miles to other registered adults in your unit.
