Thanks for sharing. This whole process sucks. It is a remnant of when rosters o my needed to be right 1/year, only to get Boys’ Life, or only when applying for Eagle. We can add Scouts manually to Scoutbook when a paper app is done, but out of the 4 or 5 times I have done that, we end up with duplicate accounts.

This is not your fault, you have to deal with what systems you are given. I guess the moral of the story is to be on the last group that rechargers. Since we turned ours in around 11/27, we were in that no-mans zone for 2 months and 1 week. Garbage.

This is no way to run a rail road. ☹
