New Features

  • Multi-Registered Scouts Default Unit
    • A feature to allow users to indicate the default unit in Scoutbook for multi-registered Scouts has been added. To select the default unit, go to the Scout’s membership page, click on the unit you wish to be the default and set the Default slider. The default unit is stored in a browser cookie so that leaders of each unit the Scout is in can select their own unit as default. This means leaders who use multiple computers will need to setup the default in each browser separately.
