MB Counselors can't see Scouts in Scoutbook Plus

This is a complicated issue with many potential hurdles. This may take a few posts to get all of the details and screen shots displayed. For the adults their first name might be displayed. I will cross out the adult last name and any Scouts name.

Scout leader 14820380 (John) has the following 6 SB+ profiles:

Boy Troop - Advancement Chair

Girl Troop - Advancement Chair

Family Pack - Committee Member

Boy Troop - Father of a male Scout

Girl Troop - Father of a female Scout

Merit Badge Counselor

He understands all 6 profiles and switches between each profile as necessary to complete is work as a volunteer Scouter.

These are the issues I will be posting about.

  1. When I go to assign him to a Scout, his name appears twice in the MBC list
  2. On many Scouts, but not all Scouts, The merit badges he is counseling a Scout for will appear twice on the relationships list.
  3. On one particular Scout, I can assign the Scout to him, but he can not see the Scout under his merit badge counselor profile. I don’t know if the problem is with the merit badge counselor’s profile or with the Scout’s profile.

I don’t know if these issues are related or if they are independent issues. In case they are related I am grouping them all together in this post.

I am now going to add additional details for each issue including screen shots of the issues.

I will advise when I have created the last details post.

Adult leader John shows as “Son of” his child with first initial A. The local council can fix his relationships with their Registrar Tools.

Issue one (!).

MB Counselor 14820380 originally signed up as a MBC for 8 merit badges. About 1 year ago he added another 8 MDs for a total of 16.

Whenever I go and look him up to assign him to a Scout I get this list below. Once with 8 merit badges and another with 16 merit badges he is counseling. I do not believe he should have his name on the MBC list twice.

I don’t know if this issue is related to the next two issues.

This is not a relationship issue.

@JeffreyMartin7 relationships mess things up. That is the first action you need to take.

Issue two (2)

On many Scouts, but not all Scouts, The merit badges he is counseling a Scout for will appear twice on the relationships list.

Counselor is 14820380 (John)

This is Scout 14789971. Why is John (14820380) listed twice for Cit Nation and Cit World?

This is Scout 14820381. Why is John (14820380) listed twice for Cit Nation and Cit World?

This is Scout 14755028. Why is John (14820380) listed twice for Family Life and Personal Management?

This is Scout 140812954. Why is John (14820380) listed twice for Cit World, Family Life and Personal Management?

Some of the merit badges are listed twice and others are not. These are 4 Scouts from two different units (Boys Troop and Girls Troop). There are several others if you need a list of ALL Scouts affected by this problem.

@JeffreyMartin7 - have the registrar fix the relationship issue then that may fix the other issue

Please explain the specific problem.

MB Counselor 14820380 (John)

is the father of his son 14820381 (A)

and is the father of his daughter 140812954 (J)

These relationships are correct. What is supposedly wrong with these relationships?

@JeffreyMartin7 he is Father of A and J - but he is also the Child of A & J. That is the first issue - likely causing all the others.

I will send you a direct message > look at top right Avatar to find it > it will be a green envelope > it will be a private message channel with select members of the Scoutbook User Advisory Council (SUAC)

Issue three (3)

On one particular Scout, I can assign the Scout to him, but he can not see the Scout under his merit badge counselor profile. I don’t know if the problem is with the merit badge counselor’s profile or with the Scout’s profile.

On my side under the B profile I see MBC 14820380 (John) assigned to Scout 134987123 for both Cit. World and E. Prep.

MBC 14820380 (John) can not see this Scout. However, if he goes to Scoutbook Legacy, he can see the Scout for Cit. World, but not E. Prep.

I have texted every MBC assigned to Scout 134987123. This is the relationship list:

Counselor Gage (123759688) has not responded to my text yet

Counselor Jeff (13757786) cannot see Scout 134987123 for Cit. Comm. under SB+. However, he can see him under Scoutbook Legacy. Why is this happening?

Counselor Melissa hasn’t responded. I do not know her ID #

Counselor Myrima (12631561) can see Scout 134987123 for Swimming under SB+.

Counselor Victor (I don’t know his number) can see Scout 134987123 for Personal Management under SB+.

Additionally Scout 134987123 has finished E. Prep with MBC 14820380. In trying and fix this issue I tried to print a blue card. Every option gave the same error result.

Why won’t the blue cards print for me?

@JeffreyMartin7 - send this to the MBC’s

I removed MBC 14820380 (John) as the E. Prep counselor for Scout 134987123.

I provided John the Scouts ID #. Several hours later he added Scout 134987123 to E. Prep under his MBC profile. He was still not able to see the Scout. However, the Scout was once more assigned to John under my B profile.

This problem is getting weirder.

@JeffreyMartin7 - have you asked council to fix the relationship issue with 14820380 ?

Yes. As of this morning all six relationships have been deleted. The SE advised she now has to wait 24 hours before she can put the correct 4 back. She is out tomorrow, so it will be Thursday before she will be able to put them back.

Once they are entered correctly we can come back and see what of these issues have been resolved.

@JeffreyMartin7 - excellent. The child of relationship messes things up for sure. That treats the adult as a youth.

Without any relationships, they should be able to try their MBC functionality again tomorrow.
