Welcome! This forum has a treasure trove of great info – Scouters helping Scouters! Just a heads up, though - all content, information, and opinions shared on this forum are those of the author, not the BSA.
We had a Court of Honor tonight so I went in to mark things as awarded for those who were in attendance. I initially picked “all” then started unchecking items for the 2 Scouts unable to make it. One of those Scouts was missing from the list of “to be awarded” so if had been there I couldn’t have marked his items as awarded.
If I go into the individual merit badges for him they aren’t marked as having been awarded.
As mentioned above I’ve checked and they aren’t already marked as awarded. He does expire today, so maybe that’s it. (This having to chase parents all year long as various folks expire at different times is exhausting but that’s a whole different rant).
