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.
In some instances, Cub Scout awards were appearing on a Troop’s Needs Approval report. Troop leaders are not authorized to approve Cub Scout awards. Cub Scout awards will no longer appear on a Troop’s Needs Approval report.
Export/Backup Files
The Advancement export/backup csv file was missing some Scout rank requirements. This has been corrected.
Sea Scouts Marksmanship Award
The Sea Scouts Markmanship Award was allowing the award to be completed without selecting a discipline. This has been corrected. A discipline is now required to complete the award.
New Features
To protect Scoutbook from malicious users, reCAPTCHA has been implemented. The version being used wil not ask the user to click a box, identify pictures, enter hard to read words, etc. but instead does the work in the background. If reCAPTCHA believes you are not a human, you will get a pop-up asking you to refresh Scoutbook and try again. Make sure the site fully loads (the X in your browser changes to the refresh icon) before clicking the LOG IN button.
