Parents can connect themselves to their scout (in Scoutbook) with the right information. I recently posted instructions on how to do so here: Unable to connect Scout with MB Counselor - #36 by CharleyHamilton
I do not believe parents can do anything (independently) that would connect them to the scout in the Akela database. I believe that has to be done by someone with access to the registrar’s tools, usually your council registrar.
