Contacting Merit Badge Counselors

I am the Merit Badge Coordinator for our Troop, and I do not have permission to email merit badge counselors about holding classes for scouts. I am trying to contact counselors not associated with our troop. Has anyone else had this problem?

@KimberlyHotz - how are you trying to contact them as there is no direct way to do that in scoutbook

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for responding. I was trying to do it in Scoutbook from the Merit Badge Counselor page. There is the icon for contact information. In Scoutbook legacy, their emails were listed. I don’t see that in Scoutbook Plus so how can I contact them? Am I missing where their contact information is located?

@KimberlyHotz - you have to click on that icon to have it show the contact information

I tried clicking on this icon

and received this message:

@KimberlyHotz - what is your registered position in the unit and your current permissions ?

Here are my positions:

And here are my permissions:

@KimberlyHotz - you have permissions that are applicable to youth only along with adult permissions and positions.

So do I need to edit my permissions to include adult? If so, how do I do that?

@KimberlyHotz - these are youth permissions - how did you get those

No idea. Someone set these up for me.

@KimberlyHotz - were you recently a registered youth ?

No, I’ve always been an adult volunteer.

@KimberlyHotz - whomever set you up with youth permissions needs to remove them.

Hi Steve,

My husband is the scout master of the troop, and he has those same permissions as I do. We don’t see how to change them. Do you know who we should contact to remove those permissions?

@KimberlyHotz - do you have a child or children in the troop

@KimberlyHotz - nevermind me on this.. I see the same permissions in my profile but I can get the contact info. Were these counselors noted as busy ?

No, they are listed as available.

@KimberlyHotz - I would gather that your husband has the same error and does the committee chair also get that same error ?

No, my husband is not having the same issue.
