I recently became the merit badge counselor coordinator for our troop. The current coordinator can search for merit badge counselors, but I don’t have this feature. How can I search for merit badge counselors and connect them with members of our troop?

I’m assuming that you’re a registered scouter and your registered position is already showing up in Scoutbook? Do you have sufficient permissions for all of the scouts you’re trying to connect that you can set their connections? [image] PatrickMcCauley: The current coordinator can search for m…

Ah, understood. Let me check on my registration. Thanks!

@PatrickMcCauley - it is a separate adult app for a unit position and approved by the charter organization
