HI, My Member ID is 13843156. I am Scoutmaster for Troop 140. We are not sure how, but there seems to have been a bulk entry last night to mark every Scout complete for Every Merit Badge. This totals 6852 Merit Badge Completions. We need some help to have this rolled back 🙂 Robert ---

@SiennaScoutmaster you would need to post an example Member # of a scout and an effected MB to even begin to understand it ---

Sounds like they went in and marked all scouts and all MBs in QE Multiple Merit badges. It would have had to have been a very intentional act. I would start by asking them. Or others with access to their account. ![Screenshot 2026-10-26 at 9.40.01 AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/scouting/original/3X/2/6/269ae5891455076987169f12808a58a0c11aecc3.png) ---

Yes … we have reached out to see if they can remember what may have caused this. What steps do we have available to have this rolled back? ---

> [@SiennaScoutmaster](#): > > Member ID 141032607 Lets start with user answer - they would have had to select every single MB to do this - one button selects all scouts, but not MBs, but that is what it looks like happened, as a parent/SM kind of wonder if a scout had access to the account. ---

Got it. Will get a response. Looks like SB+ Unit Quick Entry for Multiple Merit Badges would allow this to happen with a single action. Select All Scouts, then select all merit Badges and click Apply. This would mean it is a single batch of data entry that could hopefully be isolated and removed. ---

I have asked for a clean up script of the data. But that user needs some communication to prevent this in the future I think ---

Absolutely. The user has responded. She thought she was running a report on Merit Badge Completions. Says the computer span for quite a while. After the apply button was clicked, she realized what she had done, but it was too late to cancel the action. ---

Head shake - well perhaps an education session? LOL maybe they need to spend several hours clearing their mistake out to learn (says the SM in me,) [Scoutbook Plus for Troops, Crews and Ships - Scoutbook Knowledge Base](https://help.scoutbook.scouting.org/knowledge-base/getting-a-unit-started-in-scoutbook/) - at top is a video that walks through most everything in SB+ As it did not say reports??? Custom report builder can create a report like that. ---

Yes to both. Our Advancement chair will sit with her and provide some training. ---

LOL the more I think on it the more my head shakes. She had to enter a date in the Complete field for it to even run. ---

I would also suggest this is an opportunity for the SB+ designers to consider design choices to save users from themselves e.g. limit the number of total MBs that can be completed in a single batch restrict the Multiple Merit Badge tool to advancement chairs, and Key 3, etc. ---

@SiennaScoutmaster - the key 3 can restrict access in the unit via permissions manager > **[Scoutbook Plus Permissions - Scoutbook Knowledge Base](https://help.scoutbook.scouting.org/knowledge-base/scoutbook-plus-permissions/)** > > Permissions and Unit positions Permissions Report Access ---

no - the idea of SB+ allowing a unit to define who can enter advancements is just that - as soon as SB limits what advancements can be entered by that person others will say it is broken. Your unit decided to allow this person to have that power. [Next page](https://discussions.scouting.org/t/every-scout-marked-complete-for-every-merit-badge/512399.md?page=2)
