_I am trying to access my Scouts merit badge accomplishments and to update info and or see what has been started and what not. Everytime I log in and try to access any one of my scouts merit badge lists I can not get it. I just keep getting an error page of_ shared.AdvancementType.meritbadges.plural. nothing will pop up or import to this page for me to view. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you and have a great day ![Screenshot 2026-05-05 124907](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/scouting/original/3X/e/d/edb5db1d41eff11d3bedea6981f1aa595bc1fff8.png) ---

@JodyLegere can you give a 1-2-3 step by step you are taking to get to this screen? ---

In Badger, I’m approved for Merit Badges, but they aren’t showing up in Scout Book Plus. These were approved back in February and still can’t get access. ---

In badger I have a bunch more. This weekend I put on a citizenship of the world class and in scoutbook plus it’s not showing. How do I get what’s approved in badger over to scoutbook plus? Thank you, Amy Sorensen ---

> [@AmySorensen](#): > > In badger I have a bunch more. SB+ draws the list of merit badges from your my.scouting profile. My understanding is that the registrar has to upload the information to your profile. I’m not clear on how integrated Badger is (if at all) with the other systems. I’d never even heard of it until you posted. ---

@DonovanMcNeil - I think that is the third-party merit badge management mentioned on another thread > [@Merit Badge Counselor Merit Badge Updating Question](https://discussions.scouting.org/t/merit-badge-counselor-merit-badge-updating-question/510655/12): > > We started it back when we used Scoutnet. We wanted to make sure that we had the most qualified volunteers to teach Scouts merit badges and since you cannot add qualifications for badges into [my.scouting.org](http://my.scouting.org) we created a third party site. ---

Yes, it appears to be a Council specific, homegrown 3rd party solution that in their documentation, does not directly interface with Scoutbook+ nor My.Scouting. ---

> [@AmySorensen](#): > > How do I get what’s approved in badger over to scoutbook plus? As it isn’t a Scouting America system, I don’t think you are going to get a lot of help here. I assume that is a manual process within you council. Talk with your council training chair to see what the process is. ---
