I entered advancements & badges as “approved” and the relevant patches were purchased and distributed at Court of Honor. How do I indicate that they have been awarded? Our account shows items from 2017 and 2018 that have not been “awarded” but of course they have.

I received a response and am stuck on the first step: “Go to your troop’s main page in scoutbook.” Where is this???

This system is incomprehensible!!

1. Go to your main troop page in Scoutbook.
2. Click on Troop Reports.
3. Click on the Needs Awarding Report.
4. Select the item(s) you want to mark as Awarded (or Select All).
5. Click on Mark As Awarded (red bar at the bottom of the screen).

You can use the Customize button (icon looks like a gear) to group by award type or patrol/Scout (whichever you prefer).
