How to see Activites for Scouts across Councils

We are located near the boundary between two councils (Sam Houston Area and Bay Area Councils). We have several Scouts who are multiple registered into our ScoutsBSA Troop(s) in Sam Houston and a Sea Scout Ship in Bay Area. This creates separate BSA ID numbers for them since they are not really BSA-wide but council-specific numbers. I run Activity Log reports in SB+ and select “include activities in other units” but do not see these and they do not populate into reports (e.g. OA Eligibility). Is there anyway to get cross-council unit activities to show up in a Scout’s Activity Log? As always, thanks very much for your help!

If the scout maintains separate Scoutbook/SB+ accounts for each Member ID, I don’t think there’s a way to tie the two together.

From a practical sense, the scout could manually add troop activity information to their ship account, and vice versa. Or, they could report it to the respective unit scouters, and the unit scouters could enter it as it occurs.

I’m curious what SUAC thinks, but I suspect stuff like this won’t be feasible until/unless the Member IDs stop being firewalled off into council tranches, and instead apply one-per-person organization-wide.

That setting only works for Scouts multi-registered in a single Council. For Scouts multi-registered in different Councils, someone would need to manually add activities from the “other” council to the Scout’s activity log.
