NVM. I’ll figure it out on my own…
@SheaMackinnon - please be aware that memberships in multiple councils will result in multiple BSA ID’s and scoutbook id’s. The multiple BSA ID’s will remain as each council has their own set of id numbers. The scoutbook id’s may be able to be merged but that is for the SUAC folks to look at.
The issue is that each member ID is treated as a separate person. If we merge them now, one will reappear, and you’ll be right back where you started. The better option is to pick one troop to be the primary troop for advancement and make sure everything gets entered there. Communication is the key.

Knowing that it is, in fact, possible, I just need to know what to do or who to contact to accomplish this.
I’ll take the plunge and admit that your experience is contrary to everything I’ve ever been told about how the system works. Maybe one of the SUAC folks has a contact that knows otherwise, but it seems like something your council registrar would need to reach out to national to get done.

@SheaMackinnon - perhaps a screenshot of the toggle
I think they mean the tabs that show the different units. It is possible to have both initially after the merge. My concern is that it will go away at some point, and it’s defintely only being reported back to the council whose member number is in the profile.

Nevermind. On my own. Got it.
@SheaMackinnon - this is not a bug but the inherent risk of cross council registration. This becomes even more problematic if one council touches their record, it messes with the other. The better solution is universal ID numbers which carry globally but the BSA is a way off from that. The users have to put multiple id’s under management themselves in my,scouting.org.
