Graphic or other item showing how the various BSA IT systems work together?

Scoutbook Using Scoutbook & Scoutbook Plus
1

I am doing a “Basic Scoutbook for Adults” session for one of my troops at an upcoming troop meeting and wanted to see if there was a graphic or other pre-existing item that shows the relationships between:

Scoutbook
My.scouting.org
advancements.scouting.org
training.scouting.org
Akela

etc.

My experience was/is that when people say “I hate Scoutbook” what they really mean in some instances is “I hate my.scouting.org” or “I hate advancements.scouting.org”, etc.

Thanks.

A follow-up is there ANY documentation that explains the relationship between these systems?

There is no external document on it and it is not very relevant for parents

Scoutbook = Advancement
My.scouting.org = AKELA = membership and training portal

Except those parts in advancements.scouting.org though. That is part of the confusion here.

Well Consider Scoutbook a Database not a platform - SB is a DB with 2 platforms - Scoutbook.scouting and Advancements.scouting (well and DLE but it does not count LOL)

So thre are two DBs (Akela and SB) accessed and updated in 5 ways:

Scoutbook.scouting.org
My.scouting.org
advancements.scouting.org
Den Leader Experience
And training.scouting.org to a limited extent

How I present it is there is an Advancement DB (Advancements, PII, positions from other DB) and a Membership DB (training, registrations, PII) - a goal is to have PII on one DB
