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.
@WandaSpinner well the Scout had 2 users - so the parent might have been under the wrong one - what we would really need is a screenshot of what they see or a unit leader to watch them to point to where they can
@WandaSpinner It looks like this user’s relationships (in my.Scouting) are messed up. This parent is both “Mother of” and “Son of” her Scout with first initial “J.”.
I would recommend asking the local council to use their Regsitrar Tools to look up J. In the “Relationships” tab / section, remove her completely, and then add her back in again as parent.
