Aloha,  
I have a scout BSA # 135461023 who we linked years ago to one of our adult leaders because that adult leader didn’t have a scout in our pack so they weren’t getting certain emails. Anyways, this scout has moved on to a troop and we need to take the parent/guardian listed on his account who does not have same last name off of the scout account so he stops getting our troop emails. Could someone please help? Thank you!

@ChastineCorrea

Contact your council to break the bad parent/guardian connection. They have the ability to remove this connection.

Another option is to contact the leader that is incorrectly connected. By logging into Scoutbook, going to My Dashboard → My Account → My connections → Scout, the leader can delete the connection.

This is an example of why you never want to connect an individual as Parent/Guardian that is not the actual Parent/Guardian.

For the original issue of them receiving communications, you are able to include all registered leaders, whether they have a child in the unit or not.
