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.
Hi, I successfully transferred 2 of my scouts to a new troop and council, but I keep getting an error message for the 3rd:
“Error Our apologies, but we are experiencing an error on our end. Please contact your local council to report it.Error: You are not authorized to access this API.”
I contacted the scout service center and they said the old troop needs to do the transfer, so I contacted them, and they said they could only do in-council transfers…
Scout ID is 13876373 trying to transfer to Crossroads of the West council, Troop 1966.
Thanks!
Alternatively, ask your local council to use their Registrar Tools and look up the Scout. In the “Relationships” section, they should add you as a parent.
Unfortunately, none of my kids show up in my myscouting.org account, only my husband’s. That’s how I was able to do the other 2. I can see all my kids and their advancement on my Scoutbook account though.
I will try calling the service center tomorrow to see if they can add me and my husband as a parent in the “relationship” section.
Thank you.
I emailed the service center, because the registrar is never available by phone. She responded that my husband is listed as a relationship in his profile. We only see the relationship on scoutbook.
