Can't set up youth account to sign into Scoutbook

Until recently, parents have been able to “Set Up an Account Your Scout Can Use” by going to “Edit Extended Information” on a Scout’s profile in Scoutbook. (See Scoutbook Tutorial for Parents (SB) - Scoutbook Knowledge Base) Now, this page directs to the main profile editing page in the new Scoutbook, but I can’t find an option to activate the youth account.

@MarkusRenno Edit Extended is still correct - if you do not see option that usually means the scout has an account or might have a parent email in the field - if you post BSA # of Scout (no names) we can look

I think you are clicking edit profile. Edit extended info does not redirect to scoutbook plus.

@MarkusRenno

A better way for a Scout to get access to Scoutbook is for them to create a my.scouting.org account then log in via that ID. When they create the my.scouting.org ID, they will be able to match the account to their current BSA Member ID.

BSA member ID for my son is 135663889. Thanks for checking!

Sorry if I misspoke. It does not redirect to scoutbook plus- it just tells you to go there.
