How to use scoutbook with two different councils in two states

Have the unit in NY manually add you as advancement chair to their roster. They can search for you by you by the e-mail address attached to the Scoutbook account you normally use. You do not need to use the Scoutbook account that was created when the NY council added you with a different BSA Member ID.

Note this is different than a Scout. A Scout in 2 councils will need to use both accounts in order to have advancement properly recorded in each Council.
