Hello, I am the MBC coordinator for my troop (803) and I used to be able to do MBC search by First Name and Last Name, distance from a zip code, etc, on the old Scoutbook, but I do not have access to this functionality on the new Scoutbook Plus system. How can we fix this?
Thank you.
Regards,
Vikram
There are permissions that can be assigned by the unit Key 3 to other registered scouters in the unit, described here:
A major focus of the migration to Scoutbook Plus is to have positions mirror the positions shown in My.Scouting to ensure positions were reflected accurately in both platforms. The main purpose it to honor the guidance of our charter organizations and the positions they approve. Therefore, Scoutbook Plus does not use Legacy Scoutbook positions. Registered positions are used to provide base permissions. Some additional permissions can be added by the unit, however, there are restrictions on what can be given. See the updated Scoutbook_Permissions.pdf and the Scoutbook Plus permissions video for more details.
However, the last time I checked, there were problems with some of the permissions system. So, if adding the permissions to your account doesn’t work, it may be that this is part of that known bug. In the interim, the Unit Key 3 or Key 3 Delegates (designated in my.scouting) have access to search the list.
