Improved UX for adding merit badge counselors

Shawn,

The Lookup/Invite Counselor is coming from the Feature Assistant Extension for Chrome and FIrefox. This feature allows you to search for a MBC and adds an Invite button to each MBC in the search results.

The base Scoutbook function is to first click on Lookup Counselor. This takes you to the MBC search page where you write down the information of the Counselor you want to connect. You then return to the MB page where you can click on the Scout’s Connection button to add the Counselor.

We agree the user interface can be improved in this area. I believe the reason there are 2 buttons is because if you know the name of the Counselor you want to add, you can go directly there without searching. Since the search and invite functions are separate in base Scoutbook, two buttons make sense.

There is an item in the backlog to improve how connections to MBCs are made in Scoutbook. At this time I do not know when it will be scheduled for development.
