CSV files imported don’t show MB counselor names?

Scoutbook Feature Assistant Extension

Hi,

I was wondering why when we import MB’s after camp, they all import and show the SM name who imported them. The SM is of course not the MB counselor, and for many scouts, a large portion of MB’s are from camp, and it makes it look like the SM was the counselor for the majority of their badges. Are we doing something wrong?

Thanks!

That is audit data. There is a difference between MBC approved and leader approved. In the case of MBCs who don’t use scoutbook (ie, rely on physical blue cards), a leader entering it for record keeping purposes is perfectly acceptable. It would be improper audit data to list an MBC’s name when they in fact were not the one who entered it in the system.

Understood,

I just dislike the appearance when you look at ScoutBook, and only see me, the SM as 90% of the MB’s. Just feels like it’s a lot.

Thanks for the reply!

@MarkHolley - if it is any consolation, it matter not as far as council and national

Well an MBC cannot be forced to use scoutbook - so even if assigned they may not ever enter anything - and thinking on it how would you assign an MBC in a camp situation in Scoutbook

@MarkHolley - on Donovan’s thought you would need to look up the counselor and often times it is the program director at the camp that does the mass sign-off on behalf of the staff at that merit badge class.

i just took a look at the MB file from Rodney SR and the cards were signed off by a DMVC which is Del-Mar-VA council. So, there would be no real way of knowing who the MBC was except to guess based on a staff directory.
