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.
The Advancement Report generated from the Purchase Order has been updated to the latest version from the BSA. The new version replaces Boy Scouts with Scouts BSA and removes the restriction of female Venturers and Sea Scouts earning Scouts BSA awards.
International Phone Numbers
An issue that caused international phone numbers to revert to US format when the profile was saved has been fixed. International phone numbers are activated when the county in the user’s profile is not United States. International phone numbers are limited to 20 characters.
Missing Council
Accounts where the Council was not set in the profile have been updated to use the Council that corresponds to the BSA Member ID. This is required so that council staff can see the account in their Volunteer Support Tools.
My Positions Timeout
An issue that caused the My Positions page to timeout has been fixed. This issue could cause the My Account page to timeout if the Feature Assistant Extension for Scoutbook for Chrome and Firefox was in use.
Parents and Scouts CSV (Council Admins Only)
An issue that caused some parents to be excluded from the Parents and Scouts CSV has been fixed.
Whitewater Rafting Award
The low resolution image of the Whitewater Rafting Award has been replaced with a high resolution image.
The award was incorrectly named Summit Activity Whitewater Rafting Emblem on the Needs Approval, Purchasing and Awarding reports. This has been changed to Whitewater Rafting BSA Award (Scouts BSA) or Whitewater Rafting BSA Award (Venturing/Sea Scouts) depending upon program.
World Conservation Award (Wolf)
An issue that prevented requirement 3 of the World Conservation Award (Wolf) from auto-completing when Spirit of the Water Adventure requirements 1 and 2 are completed has been fixed.
Youth Leadership
An issue that prevented parents from adding youth leadership positions to their children has been fixed.
