How to merge two files into a single record?

Hi all,

I was reviewing my son’s Scout book and noticed he has two IDs: one with Troop 111 (Arlington, VA — National Capital Council) and another with Troop 257 (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — Transatlantic Council). He holds dual membership in Troop 111 and Troop 257 and he is active in both. Do you know how to merge the two files into a single record?

All the best,

Josephine

@JosephineAkiki - you actually would not have a single record as it is two different councils and two different member numbers. The decision must be made for which troop will enter advancement. That unit will enter all advancement. Additionally there should be two scoutbook accounts. The SUAC folks can certainly better explain this.

Thank you for your reply Stephen. My concern is that my son has some awards entered in one book that are not seen on the other book. How can I transfer them?

@JosephineAkiki - which unit will handle all of the advancement ?

5

@JosephineAkiki as far as advancement on accounts we can merge that - would just need to know the surviving accounts as advancement sits on one member #.

Troop 257 (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — Transatlantic Council)

Troop 257 (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — Transatlantic Council)

@JosephineAkiki can you post the Member #s (no names) of Scout

9

in Troop 257 ID# 141723517 Riyadh (this is the one we need to document everything under.

in Troop 111 ID# 14337266 Arlington VA

@JosephineAkiki so 14337266 is the survivor?

11

Yes.

but i want him to still be able to do activities and earn stuff with 111 please

@JosephineAkiki OK Advancement can only be on one troop or council (member ID). So the Units need to work together to get everything recorded to the Advancement Primary Member ID. So can make sure both Member IDs have a SB User.

@JosephineAkiki Troop 257 is a little confusing - was the scout in a troop with that number in both councils?

14

Not as I know. but when we were transferring to Troop 257 riyadh, We discovered that there is another troop 257 in Maryland the US and since then things got confusing to me as well

15

@JosephineAkiki ok the scout is registered in the NCAC 257 - so I bet that is an issue. You might want to call NCAC and end that registration if it is a mistake

16

@JosephineAkiki OK - I think we got cross communication above. You want to document things in the Far East Council?

18

I need to document things in the Troop 257 (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — Transatlantic Council).

19

OK that is the main Member ID. You are not a parent on that MID - either the FEC Unit or the Council needs to add you as a parent. Probably under your NCAC Member # ++++7255.

OK Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it
