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.
An issue that allowed some awards to be approved without being completed has been fixed.
An issue that caused the Leader Approved check box to not be displayed on some requirements or overall award completions has been fixed.
E-mail messages
An issue that caused some e-mail messages from Scoutbook to omit the unsubscribe link has been fixed.
Member Search
An issue that caused Member Search to return no results on the Add Leader and Add Connection pages has been fixed. NOTE: This fix only applies to Registered Adults - NOT Parents who are not registered leader. A fix to return un-registered adults is in development.
An issue that prevented parents from searching for known Merit Badge Counselors on the Scout’s Connection page to connect to their Scouts has been fixed.
Purchase Orders
An issue that caused an incorrect count of NOA devices on Purchase Orders has been fixed.
Rosters
The icon has been restored for individuals not on the official roster at my.scouting.org
New Features
Connection Search
An option to only return registered Merit Badge Counselors (MBC) has been added to the Connection Search page.
Award Approval
Awards, excluding Merit Badges, will now be marked Leader Approved when all underlying requirements are marked Leader Approved. Merit Badges still require a discussion with the unit leader to obtain the final signature on the Blue Card or approval in Scoutbook, thus Merit Badges require explicit leader approval on the final completion.
