I am the Scoutmaster of our Boys Troop and cannot edit events in the Calendar. I’ve been able to do it in the past. I’ve cleared my cache and check my status in the new permissions manager and all appears fine. I am also a Committee Member of our Girls Troop and suspect those permissions are over riding my Key3 permissions but I have no way of fixing it or even checking.
@MikeEbert The Scoutbook Plus permission system has changed. Admin roles in legacy Scoutbook do not apply to Scoutbook Plus. See Scoutbook_Permissions.pdf and the Scoutbook Plus permissions video.
In your situation you can Do Calendar for Male Troop - But it they are joint Calendar Events - you would need Permission for the female troop also which is different then you could
@MikeEbert also looking at your registrations - a # of yours looked to have not renewed with your unit positions - I would watch that if I were you.
I believe all of our events are joint events. I will get ahold of our Key3 on that side and have them add me. Thank you for looking into it.
We have a few people drop and a couple dual register with Sea Scouts. We will make sure they are entered in and watch it.
Thanks again.
@DonovanMcNeil I also lost calendar permissions. I can not add events to the Troop calendar and can no longer add Scouts to activity logs. Please help.
Donovan’s post near the top of the thread may explain what happened, and how to resolve it, assuming you don’t have an issue with your account (e.g. registration expired).

I’m having the same problem. I’m registered as ASM but I can no longer edit the calendar or record activities for the Scouts in my troop.
@KeithMacNeal - have you looked at the banner at the top of the forums

Yes. It didn’t help. Per the pdf file, ASM has permission to edit the calendar. I can’t.
I was able to log activities, but I can’t link them to a calendar entry like before.
No. Per the PDF, ASMs can be assigned permission to edit calendars (among various other things). There aren’t a lot of default permissions for ASMs, since troops use ASMs in a lot of different ways, so there isn’t a lot of clear guidance from Scouting America on exactly what the ASM’s job is (aside from assisting the SM as directed).
ETA: The superscripts are key to following which permissions are default, which are easy-to-assign, which are optional, and which can’t be assigned to folks registered in the position (or holding that functional position).

Scoutbook also shows me listed as a Troop Administrator
@KeithMacNeal- the scoutbook roles are no longer valid.

It took some poking around with our Scoutmaster to find the right place in SB+ to make the permission updates. The pdf file would be more helpful if it included the how, in addition to the what and why.
@KeithMacNeal- well there is a video link in the blue banner at the top of the forums
I am logged in as a committee member/committee chair/troop admin. I did have permission to add/edit events in the calendar, but no longer have that ability.
@KarenKelehar You are registered as a committee member which does not have any calendar permissions by default. Please see November 3, 2025 Scoutbook Plus Updates - Critical
Just for clarification, understanding that the Committee Member role doesn’t allow those permissions. So it then overrides the other positions? I was watching the above video to try to gain some understanding.
Per the link I provided, there was a major change in permissions. It all starts with registered position. Then additional functional roles can be added that have inherent permissions, and also individual permissions can be added. It’s much more granular and doesn’t rely on keeping connections updated every time someone new joins.

@KarenKelehar You are registered as a Committee Member. If you are supposed to be registered as Committee Chair, one of the troop’s Key 3 will need to change your registered position.
