I’m assisting our COR in accepting a new adult application. He’s done this many times before, so I’m confident he knows the process. He provided this update: “I do see her as paid and ready to accept. I am able to accept her, but am unable to assign her a position within the pack, that option is grayed out, and she therefore is not accepted.” The MID of the adult leader is 141876991. Any ideas? Thanks! ---

Maybe there’s a lag between acceptance by the COR and the ability to assign a position because of the background check requirement? ---

He will most likely have to work with the council registrar to see what is up. ---

Hi @CharleyHamilton , No lag. When the COR approves an application, they have to choose a position for the person. ---

Is it possible the COR has more than one MID and the one associated with his My.Scouting account is not the one he is registered as COR with? ---

If that’s the case, they’re probably back to what Matt suggested: probably need to call counsel to get clarification and/or submit a MemberCare ticket to national. ---

Could you provide the COR’s member number? ---

Thank you all for the lively discussion. Our COR has approved a number of adult applications lately, so I suspect it’s not a user issue. Could be, though! His MID is 119279547. ---

@WilliamElton I do not see anything wrong with the COR’s registration. I suggest the COR contact your Council. ---
