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.
I have some scouts that have earned the NOA Camping award along with additional devices. However, Scoutbook Plus does not show the center emblem as awarded even though it does show in Scoutbook. If I try to award it in Scoutbook Plus, I get an error that says “Could not determine previous Device Award.”
Additionally, several scouts have earned the Camping Gold/Silver Device award. This does not show in Scoutbook Plus, nor do I even see an option to award it. (The only NOA devices I see listed are Adventure.)

Just a note that if you have not done so, it’s worth looking up the AaronOnScouting article that covers the NOAA. In there the guy who wrote the NOAA requirements says that all scouting activities count towards the awards. He points out that activities in Cubs are included.
I had to go back and figure out what my son had done in Cubs as the Pack didn’t have records. It made a bit of a difference. My son has the NOAA medal and all the rockers with pins. I made a spreadsheet to keep track of all the miles, nights, and hours.
I have no idea if ScoutbookPlus has a way to include the Cub activities.
In principle, if the hiking and camping data is entered into the logs, it can be tracked. It may require a unit scouter to Approve it before it turns up in the reports.
I know I have stuff in there for myself and my son from when we were in the pack.
Yeah, my Pack didn’t keep track of any of that. I had to go back and talk with Cubmaster whose son is same age as mine.
His son was in my Den the whole time so we could come up with a list.
I ended up doing one of the five MBs he needed to get done in the two weeks before he aged out. Kid did them. Almost caused a few heart attacks.
Scout (ID: 130508148) has earned the NOA Center emblem plus 2 gold devices. They show up in Scoutbook with dates. None are showing up in Scoutbook Plus as being awarded.
I was replying to the comment above that if there are “awards that have already been earned and recorded in Legacy Scoutbook but are missing in Scoutbook Plus, please provide the Scout’s Scouting America Member ID (no names) and the missing awards. We will investigate.”
