I have a scout who has completed all of his requirements for Eagle and is ready to turn in his binder to Council, but we are struggling with his leadership position populating on his Eagle application properly using Scoutbook Plus. He served as Patrol Leader and then transitioned to Scribe to finish out his leadership requirements. Patrol Leader is being pulled through, but Scribe is not. If he turns into Council, they will deny it as the Eagle application shows less than 6 months of leadership. Is anybody having this issue? ---

@JeffreyMiller11 - is that scribe POR approved ? And the only thing that council needs is the Eagle Scout Rank application and not a binder. ---

Yes, it is POR approved (it is even listed as an approved position under requirement 4 for Eagle in Scoutbook Plus). ---

@JeffreyMiller11 - here is that same scout and the POR from ESRA ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/scouting/original/3X/1/5/15aca2d895059bd4a3fba5568ef7c937d3eae8a2.png) What does it show on the scout profile page and the ESRA for your scout. ---

@JeffreyMiller11 Is the position listed as a troop Scribe? Or as a patrol Scribe? It needs to be listed as a troop Scribe to count. ---

Yes, that was mentioned as the work around, but wondering if there is a glitch. This is the first Eagle application my troop has run since the upgrade that added MBC capabilities. ---

There is only one scribe listed from the pulldown of positions available. Is Calendar Editor perhaps considered the Troop Scribe in SB Plus? ---

@JeffreyMiller11 - no in the leadership positions the position of scribe would need to be listed. Calendar editor is a permission. ---

No see the Scribe was assigned to a Patrol. Just give the scout a new Scribe position for the same dates in the whole Troop ![Screenshot 2026-05-22 at 10.01.53 AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/scouting/original/3X/0/2/026ff588df3e4ce5c53b018c825911c0cfec7fcc.png) ---

I think in Legacy you could assign a scribe to patrol - you cannot in SB+ ---

how would I add him as a Troop scribe? I have tried to figure it out, and I’m at a loss. ---

That is how it is currently setup. He is still in a patrol and it is assigning him a Patrol scribe then. There is nothing available to differentiate between a Troop scribe and a patrol scribe ---

@JeffreyMiller11 It looks like the patrol Scribe position was added in Scoutbook (legacy). If he was actually troop Scribe, then delete the position, and add it back again. Scoutbook Plus does not have the ability to add patrol Scribes or other patrol-level positions, except Patrol Leader and Assistant Patrol Leader.
