Can a parent set up an scoutbook account for a youth even if they are under the age of 13? If so can you give me the current instruction on how that work. I keep on finding what seem to be old system. ---

@lisaLudwig The parent needs to: 1. Go to [my.Scouting.org](http://my.Scouting.org) 2. Click the “Create Account” button. 3. Enter the youth’s information. The system should find a match, based on name and date of birth. If it does not find a match, the parent should stop, and contact the unit to double-check the name and DOB. ---
