Good morning! Our Troop is 85 Scouts and we’re getting ready for our Court of Honor. We like to generate Individual Advancement Reports and send them for update/correction to the Scouts. I have only found that I can generate the report, but still need to run/download them one-by-one in order to email them to each Scout.
Is there a way we can “push” advancement records in Scoutbook to individual Scouts, along with a custom message for what we’d like them to do?
When we used to use Troopmaster we were able to generate something called an “Individual History Report”, or IHR, for any or all Scouts. This would download as a PDF and there was an option to create separate PDF files for each Scout selected. The name of the PDF was a construct of the Scout’s name, for example “SmithJ_IHR.pdf”. This allowed us to run a script that “grabs” that file and attaches it to an email with instructions, which looked like this:
Your Scout advancement as recorded in Troopmaster is attached to this message in a PDF file. Please open the file and review the information carefully.
Pay particular attention to your Current Rank (near the top of the report) and Earned Merit Badges (near the bottom of the report).
At the upcoming Court of Honor, you should expect to be recognized for any advancement you have earned since June 15, 2018 (the date of our last Court of Honor). If you have recently earned any ranks or merit badges and they’re not listed on the report, please let us know (you can also tell us if there’s anything you’d like to add or ask questions about the report).
