New Features

  • Calendar Events
    • Leaders are now able to bulk remove invited individuals from calendar events in Unit Quick Entry.
  • Connections IMPORTANT
    • Scoutbook Plus will start warning parents/guadians that are not connected to their children in Akela, the membership database, that their connections must be validated by 12/31/25 or their access will become limited. These Relationships are the ones that control Membership renewals and registrations. Instructions to validate the connection are provided in the pop-up window.
    • Leaders and Parents can add additional parent/guardian connections. These are added by clicking the + next to Relationships on the Scout’s page. If someone other than the existing parent/guardian connected in Akela (ex: unit leader) adds the new parent/guardian, the existing parent/guardian will receive an e-mail to validate the new connection. This must be done before the new connection is completed.
  • Filter Settings
    • Filter settings for up to 10 units are stored locally. If you use more than 1 browser or device, filter settings must be saved on each one.
  • Opt Out Reason
    • When opting a Scout or Leader out of a unit, a reason must now be entered. The Scout or Leader can be opted out either at the end of their registration term or immediately.
