Hi - We just had a large group of Scouts crossover from the Pack. With all of the transitions happening and with how this has changed now a couple of times, is there definitive guidance on how I should instruct the parents to setup Scoutbook / Scouting app accounts for their Scouts?

I found this in a post from 3 years ago on here. Is this still the right approach?

@PaulJohansen yes that is the way still - in the process there is now a checkbox if the scout is under 13 saying “I am parent making this for a scout” - so have them enter data - BUT if a match does not appear they should stop
