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.
Yesterday, three of my scouts lost their text messaging ability. Two of them had been set up for months (one of them was my own son), and one just got set up on Monday. Why would some of them just disappear from having access. Yes, they can go back in and add it again, but it’s difficult to contact scouts to make a fix when their access has been automatically changed.
My ability to receive texts has never worked; over the years (going back at least five) I’ve submitted at least three tickets - back when there was member care.
I had issues with it when we first started using Scoutbook . It took MONTHS for Scoutbook to figure it out. Now that we can use it, I’ve been trying to get all of our leaders, parents, and scouts connected (unsuccessfully). We were on the right track when all of a sudden several lost their connections. It all occurred on the same day. It was weird.
