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.

Merit Badge Audit Data
The name of the Merit Badge Counselor and date a Merit Badge or its requirements are approved has been added. Merit Badges and requirements already marked Counselor Approved will not have all of this audit data. The audit data is also included in the Scout Advancement Export/Backup file.
Merit Badge Counselor tools
A message feature has been added to the Merit Badge Counselor tools. To send a message to counseled Scouts, select the Merit Badge then the Scouts. The message will be sent to the Scout’s, their parents or if the parents do not receive Scoutbook e-mail to the Key 3 of the Scout’s unit. A copy will automatically be sent to the Merit Badge Counselor.
Reports
The Activity Log, Attendance, Audit Log, Incomplete Merit Badge and Payment Log reports have been updated to use 4-digit unit numbers. The saved PDFs and CSVs will have a consistent filename form that includes the unit number, date and for troops, the unit gender.
Scout Activity Logs
When selecting Activity Logs from a Scout’s page in Scoutbook, you will now be redirected to the Scout’s page in Internet Advancement instead of the unit roster page.
Sea Scout Requirements
Sea Scout requirements in Scoutbook have been updated to match the latest published requirements.
