New leader cannot make user in myscouting app

Hi everyone,
I have a new leader who is trying to do his ypt but evertiem he terie4s to make an account this happens:

He says he tried doing the create new account on the bottom of the screen. Any suggestions? Thank you.

@DavidHutte

The same ID used at my.scouting.org is used in the app. If the new leader does not have a my.scouting.org account, using the web site is the preferred way to create one.

@edavignon they said they tried it in chrome on their phone as well. I don’t think they own a computer.

The screenshot says login failed. That looks like he tried to log in, not create an account. How far did he get through the account creation process?

@jacobfetzer all they told me was that they couldn’t get in it. I was not there, I don’t know what they tried.

Do they have a bsa member number already? What is it?

I do not believe that they do. I turned in the application on Tuesday and our registrar does not put it thru until they complete ypt.

If they are a parent, what is their scout’s bsa member number? Most people already have one just by being a parent.

The kids applications are pending approval until family support application is approved and determines what amount off their fees they recieve.

Then he may not have a member number yet. I’d make sure he’s clicking the sign up link at the very bottom, not any of the sign in links.

I will do that…but he should still be able to create one without waiting for his kids to get approved, correct?

Yes, anyone can create a new account. Based on the error message, I suspect he’s trying to login instead of creating an account. Without more info on what he actually clicked it’s hard to advise.

web-based creation worked. I’m pretty sure they didn’t click on the bottom link. Thanks so much!
