Need some hand-holding to get my son's email to connect

Son:

Dad (me):

A couple things:

1. I can’t figure out how to send him an email invitation to connect his email. I thought a button like that used to exist, but I don’t see anything like that now. He’s ready to start using email and getting the Scoutbook emails - would like help with this.

2. oddly enough, his profile shows his mom and I as family in Scoutbook. However, in My.Scouting, it doesn’t show any relationships to anyone.

Help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

@DanielDye

Create a my.scouting.org ID for your son then have him log in to https://scoutbook.scouting.org using that ID.

Your son is connected to his mother in Akela. Your council can use the relationship tab of registrar tools to connect you to him.

Thank you for the quick reply.

But - doesn’t he already have a my.scouting.org ID? He’s been a scout for years, and has both a BSA ID and a Scoutbook ID. Guess I don’t know what a my.scouting.org ID is. When I look that up, AI says that its the same thing as a BSA ID.

@DanielDye He needs to create an account (username / login) at my.Scouting. As long as his name and DOB match, the system should give him the opportunity to to match up with his already existing member ID number.

Just to be sure I understand - you mean go into this link and create an account? And hopefully it’ll connect?

Yes, it should connect as long as the name and DOB match what is in the system.
