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.
New Scouts (Webelos and Arrow of Light) joined our Pack this year.
Mom is showing up correctly on Webelos profile, but not on Arrow of Light’s profile (no email). I see the same BSA member numbers for both versions of Mom’s profile and Connection Manager is only showing one version of Mom. Mom only sees Webelos when she logs into Scoutbook.
There’s another issue with Dad in the same family. Originally, Council connected both boys to a person with the same name in a different Council (this person is in Ohio, we are in Texas). Another version of Dad with no email address got created and connected, but Dad cannot log into this account (no email). Finally, a 3rd version of dad with an email address is connected, but doesn’t seem to have a BSA member number, just a User ID number. Dad now says he can see both boys, but I’m not sure which profile is working, or if either one really is. We can’t change or remove any of the connected “parent” profiles.
AOL Scout will bridge this weekend (of course). So we’d like to get things cleaned up before passing along a mess to his new Troop.

Dad says he did not move from Ohio. According to the legacy training validation tool, Dad in Ohio is a trained MBC and ASM. The family who joined our Pack this year is brand new to Scouting at any level.
I’ve messaged Mom & Dad to log into their profiles and make sure they can see both Scouts. I’m not sure Mom is going to be fixed - when I view GG’s profile and click on Mom’s connection, I do not see her email address under her name in the Modify Connected Adult screen. I do see the email address when I do the same from LG’s profile.
That’s how Council originally set it up. When their (paper) applications were first processed by SHAC, the connection was made to the Ohio dad. So we were emailing stuff to that address and assuming it was all working fine, but in reality the Dad in TX never got anything. Took a while to get the communication issues fixed.
Dad is working exactly as desired. Thanks for clearing all those up.
Mom’s situation has improved, but she can now only see GG’s name with last initial, like she doesn’t have full control. I see her listed as parent with full control…
Edit: Mom’s connection is slightly different on my end. I see Pending Connection for Mom with GG, but Active Connection for Mom with LG.
Similar problem here… How do I merge multiple accounts for myself?
137454129 has my older son
13059909 was created by the Unit but I couldn’t get in
12753596 has my younger son - I want to merge all to this ID# if possible.
