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.
An issue that caused some leaders and Scouts to be incorrectly given the Den Admin role has been fixed. All Den Admin roles created by mistake have been ended.
Eagle Palms
An issue that caused and incorrect Percent Complete value on Eagle Palms has been fixed.
Eagle & Quartermaster Quick Entry
An issue that prevented Eagle and Quartermaster Rank Quick Entry from being Leader Approved as been fixed. Note the Board of Review (BOR) requirement for both Eagle and Quartermaster will not be marked Approved, even if the Leader Approved box is checked. Approval of the BOR for these ranks only comes from the BSA, not from units.
Merit Badge Counselor E-Mail
An e-mail sent to Merit Badge Counselors indicating the Merit Badges counseled was, in some cases, missing the list of Merit Badges. This has been fixed.
New User E-Mail
An issue that caused the e-mail containing login credentials for new users to omit a portion of the ID has been fixed. New IDs in the form of SBUser12345678 will now contain the number portion of the ID. Users with IDs in this format will select their own ID at first login.
New Features

Council Admin E-Mail
