I am updating patrol assignments in SB+, trying to add and remove youth and adults. I need to delete some patrols. After removing the adults associated in the patrol and clicking Save, I get the following error. The deleted adults remain in the patrol even after I deleted them. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/scouting/original/3X/d/b/db504068d9e7ef9415029ec579a39b46cd4c7d36.png) This is the screen where I am trying to make the adult membership changes (I blacked out the names): ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/scouting/original/3X/9/b/9b592b74a672028e720f0b492c3770ca2176f132.png) How do I remove adults successfully from the patrol? I don’t get this error when I make changes with the youth. Because I cannot remove adults from a patrol, I am also unable to delete old patrols because I cannot empty the patrol. ---

A bit more context to the experts… I know I am not supposed to go into the SB Legacy, but if I end the Patrol Admin dates in Legacy, I can remove the adult from the patrol in SB+. Unfortunately this means going through each adult and doing one by one. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/scouting/original/3X/2/6/2605ec5a93a430b4a5fc0ce82bada8dac341823b.png) ---

One more screenshot to the experts… When I move a Scout from “Unassigned” patrol in SB+ into one of the existing patrols, I get this error: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/scouting/original/3X/d/3/d3dbd72110f90e81049c0a5352ea45024893138a.png) However, after closing the dialog boxes, the Scout was moved successfully to the new patrol, so I’m not sure why I am getting an error. In Summary: 1. I get an error when I try to delete adults from a patrol in SB+. My workaround is to go through SB Legacy and end their Patrol Admin access by putting an end date in the past. 2. I get an error when I assign Scouts to a patrol in SB+. However, after closing the error message, the Scout appears in the correct patrol where I tried to move her. Any ideas on what is going on? ---

@ShirleyHou - one thing to note is that patrol admin is no longer a valid thing. So whomever is adding that to leaders needs to stop doing that. ---
