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.
Hello! I am a new advancement coordinator in our troop and I am wanting to update the connections manager so that only the Scoutmaster, Troop Committee Chair and I can edit records. Currently, all of the adult leaders and parents have full control but I can’t seem to find out how to change that option to keep it more secure.
The BSA has decided that parents shall have full control connections to their children. Scoutbook is designed for Scouts and their families to be able to update their own records, the same way they can write in the physical handbooks.
Parens who are not leaders cannot approve advancement, only mark it completed. Parents who are leaders should be instructed not to check the leader approved check box unless that is their role in the unit.
There is a Unit Advancement Chair role at my.scouting. Turning it on will make the adult leader a unit Admin in Scoutbook and give more permissions in Internet Advancement.
