Is there a way to delete the old hiking, camping and service hour activity logs from when a child was a Cub Scout.

Now that our son is a Boy Scout and these activities are required for advancement and merit badges, we wanted to use Scoutbook/MyScouting to track the his hiking/camping/service hours. The old Cub Scout activities are throwing off the totals.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Don’t delete them! Although rank and merit badges rely only on activities since joining Scouts BSA, some awards include all activities under the auspices of Scouting America (like National Outdoor Awards).

Also keep in mind that many requirements (like for Camping and Hiking MB) are more than just a total count of units (e.g. nights or miles).

@RobertCostantino Ask a Troop Admin to set the “Date Joined Scouts BSA” date in Scoutbook Plus. Then you can run the Activity Log Report using the Date Joined Scouts BSA, which will filter out the Cub Scout items.

Just to agree with Charley Hamilton. Please do not do that.

My son earned the National Outdoor Activity medal. That medal is now no longer available (per Commissioner’s letter that was just sent). BUT, the patch system for it is. There is an Arron On Scouting blog post where the guy who wrote that program states that ALL activities from Scouts are to be counted. From Pack, Troop, and Crew/Explorers.
I had a very difficult time going back and counting my son’s Pack activities that met the requirements. There are patch rockers for Aquatics, Camping and Hiking (among others). I had to go back and figure out what Pack activities he had done. The records you are referring to would have made that so much easier.
