The only options for adult connections right now are:
Parent/Guardian
Other Family Member
Merit Badge Counselor
Adult Leader
There isn’t anything that you can do right now until another option is added for “other” adult connections. Despite the label, those other parents do not have any special leader options, unless they are listed as leaders on the unit roster pages.
If you don’t want them connected at all, you can go to your roster page and then connection manager. Clicking an adult’s name will allow you to change it for all scout’s other than their own kids and any in a den or unit for which they are an admin.
Hello @jacobfetzer, that’s the problem I have. I am unable to remove/change their permissions. I am a unit admin and I have refreshed my connection to all of the scouts, so I am not sure what the issue is…
@JenniferOlinger, they are checked off as Adult Leader, but they are not leaders. That is what I need to change but cannot do it as the check boxes are grayed out.
Are the Scouts where the Adult Leader boxes on the connections are grayed out dual registered? You cannot modify connections between leaders of another unit and Scouts in that other unit.
I have had parents who were leaders for scouts during their cub scout years show up as adult leader connections to the scouts at the troop level (not in the troop leaders’ roster). Generally, however, I was able to break such connections in the past. Is it possible that the source of the “incorrect” leader connections?
