Cannot update MB to Unit ONLY

I am now listed as a COUNCIL for Merit badges, but when I change to my UNIT. It says an error and to post here.

@DianeHowells

Did you enter your unit number in the form Troop 0123 B? The unit must be in that format including the spaces and 4 digits for the unit number.

Keep in mind, all this setting does is hide you from MBC search for members that are not a part of the specified unit(s). It does not prevent anyone from connecting you to a Scout in another unit if they know you are an MBC.

Adding to Ed’s process comments, some councils don’t permit MBCs to limit themselves to a single unit or district. The software doesn’t explicitly enforce that, AFAIK, but I think that folks with council-level access can go in and change your visibility setting. I mention it in case it keeps reverting to council-level visibility as something you might want to raise in a discussion with your council registrar or whomever was delegated responsibility for managing MBCs in your council.

If the Council has prevented MBCs from restricting their listing to Unit and/or District, the corresponding selection on the MBC position page will be grayed out.

Thanks for the clarification, Ed. I didn’t realize it would do that. Our council has flirted with the idea of requiring MBCs to be “council-wide” in the past, but I don’t know that they’ve ever actually restricted it in SB/SB+.
