2 of our new parents cannot log in. I think I need both accounts reset. Who do I contact for this?

Look at their edit profile page and get the scoutbook user ID or bsa member number for us (no names), and we can check.

The first logs in but is in her scout account. The second just can’t log in and the password recovery is not working for her.

For the first one, she has set up both an Apple login and a Google login. The Apple login should take her to the right account. The other one is associated with a different council. So, I’d assume she lives close to a council boundary. Which council are you actually in?

For the second one, you gave me a youth, PS. His mother is TS. She last logged in in 2020 with a username that is like firstnamelastname.

@CraigGiffin, what happens if she tries logging in to Scoutbook using the same credentials from [my.scouting.org](http://my.scouting.org)?

So, if I understood your initial post correctly, the parent has two BSA ID numbers, or does one of those belong to their scout?

If both of those BSA ID’s “belong” to the parent, can you post the BSA ID (no names) for the scout to whom she should be connected? I recently had a parent who had associated their email address with their scout when they created an account at [my.scouting.org](http://my.scouting.org), and it had fouled up a lot of things in Scoutbook. We’re still working on resolving that issue. Some of the symptoms sound familiar, so I’m wondering if it’s something like that going on here.
