Welcome! This forum has a treasure trove of great info – Scouters helping Scouters! Just a heads up, though - all content, information, and opinions shared on this forum are those of the author, not the BSA.
I’m trying to add a parent to a Scout. It finds the person when I search, but I think it might be the Scout it’s finding because parent and scout seem to share a name (Scout most likely a junior).
The Scout’s BSA ID is: 14619910
The parent’s BSA ID is: 14619907
Well, I think the issue is that Scout book only allows you to add parents to a scout via email address or name. When I try to put the adult’s full name in, Scoutbook says it can’t find anyone. When I remove his middle name, it finds the youth (who has the same name). I’ve tried just the middle initial but Scoutbook still can’t find the parent.
Because they both have the same email address, that doesn’t work. I tried adding a fake email address to the father’s account in the my.scouting roster, but it still only pulled in the scout’s account in Scoutbook. I’m at a loss.
You are going to want to contact your local council Registrar and request that the Lion Adult Partner registration and the parent / Scout user relationships be consolidated under a single BSA member number (14619907 / 14619911) using their Registrar tools.
Right now, I have 14619907 set as “primary”, because that is the number with the parent / Scout user relationships.
