Welcome! This forum has a treasure trove of great info – Scouters helping Scouters! Just a heads up, though - all content, information, and opinions shared on this forum are those of the author, not the BSA.
We created an account for my son (he’s my only BSA child) so he could get into the Scoutbook app and track his merit badge and rank requirements. Then I found out that I was supposed to send an invite under Extended Information. He deleted the account about 42 hours ago, but the Invite still says there is an account under his email address. How much longer do we have to wait until the process allows the invite to work?
We did try logging in as him to make sure, and the credentials we set up no longer work (indicating the account’s not accessible), so I’m not sure what else to do at this point.
@BillyStafford It’s usually not a problem for the Scout to create a my.scouting account.
In this case, however, your son created an account and used his nickname. The BSA’s systems are automated and they did find a match (because different names).
I have removed the e-mail in Scoutbook. You might be able to invite him in Scoutbook now or create a new my.scouting account for him using his legal first name – not a nickname.
