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.
It seems that somehow another account was created using the same name, address, ph#, and Email address… only thing different between these 2 accts is the DOB.
Membership ID’s are different. The old ID is the current ID, the new (??) one looks like a dummy acct. both accounts are linked to the Leader, Both accounts show up as a connection to the Child’s Scout account.
They were having a difficulty logging into scoutbook, I suspect because both accounts are linked to the same email acct, with the same user name… that’s the possible issue??
How does one go about getting the duplicate account removed from the system?
If you provide the two member IDs (no names please!), the SUAC volunteers may be able to help with diagnosis. Depending on the situation, it might require your council’s help to resolve.
I recommend that the local council use their Registrar Tools to look up her child (or children). In the “Relationships” tab / section, she should be listed as parent only under her primary member ID number (MID): 14654961. She should be removed if listed as parent under any other MIDs.
She also has 2 usernames (logins) at my.Scouting. The local council can also fix that.
Two more, for youth though: (our recharter just processed recently, it was not like this before. Both are only active in council 544, if they are linked to others, can we close them?
141817383 - currently on roster on my.scouting for council 544 - current council
scoutbook shows 141817383 is her previous member ID and that her current ID is: 141070033
Same for her brother
141817347 currently on roster on my.scouting for council 544 - current council
scoutbook shows 141817347 as a previous member id and that the current one is: 140421431
Can you please look at 126338580? This leader has multiple positions, but gets an error messaging trying to access scoutbook after our recharter processed. It says another user is using the same email. (?)
This user and her child with first initial J. were using the same e-mail address. I have removed it from J’s Scoutbook account. Please ask the user to try logging in to Scoutbook (legacy), go to:
My Account → My Connections
and click on “Clean Old Connections”. I am not sure if it will work, but it might be worth a try.
