No way to fix a wrong date for MB requirement on Star Rank

[LaihungNg]

Picture illustration: The Cit World stood in the way and prohibited the BOR to be recorded on 4/3/25. Therefore I need to put 4/8/25 which is not true.

Also it Scoutbook plus didn’t record who made the update and genetically says BSA administrator.
In scoutbook.com, we can see who updated or changed.

@LaihungNg - in scoutbook.scouting.org you will also find BSA Administrator as that is an action taken by council in updating the record. It appears that others were successful in correcting this by removing a number of merit badges to get the date right them re-entering the merit badges to have them fill in. You would need to print off the scouts BSA history report then work that process.

No way to fix a wrong date for MB requirement on Star Rank

Yes I was able to fix it but I had to remove all the eagle required merit badges after the date I needed it set at. After I removed all 5 of those it put the requirement as incomplete. Then I added back in the oldest completed eagle required merit badge which marked that section complete with that correct date.

[LaihungNg]

I will see how to remove it. In that case, we will lose the MBC marked approval date.

@LaihungNg - if the merit badge is completed and awarded that is no longer of consequence

@LaihungNg unapproving the MB is the solution for this for now we think

[LaihungNg]

thanks. it works as I removed the cit world.

[DonovanMcNeil]

Then I would close out this rank and then restore the MB after that

[LaihungNg]

opps it still stands the way as it said completed on 4/8/25 (top right side)

[LaihungNg]

Tried to change the cit in world mb date to 4/3/25 and it still didn’t work. It said “Youth does not have the necessary merit badge for this rank. “ It clearly said completed automatically. I could not use the completed date 4/3/25 .

New error

I would try an Incognito window

[LaihungNg]

Nope still does not work.

I experienced the same issue with ScoutBook populating the completion date for Star Req. 3 with the most recent Eagle Required merit badge completion date. Reading the forum, I then un-approved the most recent Eagle Reqd badge recorded on 5-2-25. This reset the date to the next most recent Eagle Reqd merit badge, which was still after their Star BoR date. Next, I un-approved the 2nd most recent Eagle Merit badge which reset the date for Star Req. 3 to a date BEFORE their actual Star BoR. Then I was able to populate the correct BoR date and complete the Star rank. I then approved the un-approved Eagle Required merit badges I had modified previously using the original approved dates. Now the scout’s record is accurate and complete. Thanks for posting this thread which helped me identify the solution!
