Welcome! This forum has a treasure trove of great info – Scouters helping Scouters! Just a heads up, though - all content, information, and opinions shared on this forum are those of the author, not the BSA.
I tied to setup the new den leader portal today. I did not realize that my den had not been advanced yet and when i generated the calendar it generated all of the prior year requirements.
Once my den was advanced properly I went in and re set it up. Now I have duplicate calendar appointments.
The idea is solid, if it will function and mark off the advancements in scout book at the end that is awesome! But a the same time I am finding the use of the site is very rigid - i cannot make edits easily or close off the bobcat requirement because i did not realize i needed to mark it complete before setting this up.
I set mine up after advancing my den and it won’t let me complete attendance or anything else with it. I now only use DLE to map out when I am going to hold my meetings (you can change the prior year’s events to a single date in the past via scoutbook.scouting.org) I manually add a new event to scoutbook. Then I click the hide all DLE events button. This way when I want to prep before the meeting I can log on to DLE and it has all the leader tools, but when I need to record advancements or write up agenda notes for families I log into scoutbook.scouting.org as it is much more stable.
