As a Family Cub Scout Pack, we often invite parents and siblings to participate in our events. It would be nice if the new Internet Advancement Calendar (and Scoutbook if it continues to offer the RSVP feature) would allow families to RSVP with more than one person attending.
Often, we have only one parent connected to each Cub Scout, so they might RSVP Yes for themselves and their Scout, but intend to bring a family of five. We often resort to creating a separate Sign-up Genius for each event just to collect a more accurate count of who is planning to attend.
Maybe this could take the form of asking how many guests are attending with you when filling in the RSVP from the IA Calendar. This might also help with “bring a friend” events for BSA troops too.
I see this was also suggested in the Scoutbook forum, but that topic was locked without comment.
