We have a couple of scouts that have aged out of our pack and one scout/family that has ghosted us and I’d like tidy things up and would like to know how to remove them/their affiliation to our pack.
Thanks!
Mike
@MichaelBur most effective thing is to go to advancements.scouting.org and make an Inactive to Den - to dump them in. >. then go to Scoutbook.scouting.org > go to the Scout’s profile > Membership > and just unapprove the Pack membership - no reason to put an end date cause system might bring them back as they are still on your official roster at my.scouting.org. But unapproving basically ghosts the unit from the Scout
If you unapprove their membership in Scoutbook, you will need to manually remove them later.
Thank you. This seemed to “mostly” work and seems to have had the intended effect. The resulting state is that they no longer appear on the roster at advancements.scouting.org but there are still “traces” of them on the “legacy” scoutbook at scoutbook.scouting.org; the placeholder den I created is there but shows 0 members. However, if I click on the den, I see them(this is all on legacy scoutbook). That same den and the members do not show up voer on advancements.scouting.org. I guess this is “as good as it gets”. Thanks for your help.
I find it best to make one catch all den for these scouts

Jennifer - Thank you for your response. Can you tell me how I would go about this next step you reference of manually removing them? Thanks!
Yes, that’s what I’ve done. We’re a smaller pack and only have 1 den per year and I’ve created a second AOL den for this. Thank you.

Check if they have any open memberships other than the inactive den. Also check for open leadership positions.

So I’ve used this method for awhile, creating an inactive den and assigning them there.
Yesterday should have been the first scout that had been expired for 60 days. I know without a shadow of a doubt that this kid was expired on 7-31-24 which is why I marked a 60 day note for 9-29 to see what happened, he would be my first.
Well today, he moved to the bottom and changed to unassigned and now his expiration date shows 8-31-24.
Even if there was the possibility I got the 7-31 date wrong (which just isn’t the case because I marked it and knew he was the first and only to reach 60 days first), something happened and moved him to unassigned. I have 3 more with expirations on 8-31 that remained in the unassigned den and nothing has changed.
@TravisStephens who knows with this renewal system - I see Expiry Date for that MID as 8/31/24 - I would say give it a day or 2 to see what happens. And expired means little - cause the way BSA sees it as I understand - the user paid for a year so we have to give them a year - so even if you can get council to get youth off your real roster, many just add them to fake ghost units so they are still registered.

That’s what I’m saying though. His expiration was listed 7-31-24. His year would have been sometime in August. Sixty days after 7-31 was yesterday (9-29).
So all these posts about people complaining that the expiration is the last day of the month before their expiration seems to be irrelevant because the system still hasn’t kicked him off and now the expiration date changed to 8-31 (reflecting the end of the month of his true year of membership).
I have a note to keep following him but 60 days is now 60+.
No i get the math @TravisStephens - lets start back with what I started with - “who knows with this renewal system” - call council; would be surprised if they could give a better answer
@TravisStephens
I suspect since this Scout was first registered in August 2023, when the system went from renewing with recharter to annual, someone just messed up the expiration date since there is an extension from what I suspect is your recharter date of 12/31/23.
I wondered that @edavignon - but it adds a month and makes it 13
Looks like he was extended manually. My Scouts that registered after 8/1/24 (first one in January) all have expiration dates 12 months after their start dates.
@TravisStephens
We have confirmed that 7/31/24 expirations were extended to 8/31/24.

Thanks for the follow up. Guess I’ll check them at the end of October.
