I am Committee Chair and Key 3 delegate for my unit, but I cannot make any changes in the Position Manager. I need to swap some Committee members out, as well as switch Advancement Chair and Treasurer. I am using the desktop version of my.scouting mostly, but I cannot do any of these functions in the mobile app either. Any help is appreciated!
If the members are not renewed and in a grace period it cannot be done and if your Unit Charter is not renewed it causes issues
OK, that might be the issue. Is there a way to tell from the Roster whether someone is in a grace period, and for how long?
I do not have any control over members who are renewed either, however. So for example I can’t take any action on someone who is currently registered who is listed on the Committee. Should I be able to as Committee Chair/Key 3?
One more note, when I try to expire someone in a role, I get an Invalid Request message.
Thanks for the help.
A Chair cannot change Registered position, only the COR or COR-D can. A chair can assign Functional roles.

OK thanks, I understand that now. I will get with my COR about changing those registered positions.
Any thoughts on how I can tell when a lapsed registration will have its grace period expire, or about the error message I am getting? Appreciate the help.
The lapse period is 3 months so if the registration expired on 12/31/24, the lapse period will end on 4/1/25. You can use Scoutbook Plus https://advancements.scouting.org to determine the registration status of all members. This information may be on your my.scouting.org roster but I am not sure.
A follow-up: I am still not able to assign Functional Roles, even though I am listed as Committee Chair and Key-3. For example, if I try to expire the outgoing Treasurer, and choose today (or tomorrow) as the Expiry Date, I get an “Invalid Request” error. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
@ChristopherHunt5 whait is Member ID of the person you are removing?
There are currently issues with backed systems that could be preventing you to make these changes. Scouting America IT is working to resolve the issues.
I am looking to remove:
125123228 from Treasurer
13617833 from Advancement Chair
This is a known limitation of the system. It does not allow you to remove individuals that are in the 3 month lapse period. They should automatically drop off in April.

OK thanks. I’ll check back in April and see if I can update then.
How long is the lapsed period going to stay at 90 days/3 months? A lot of documentation states that the lapsed period is 60 days/2 months.
What I have heard is currently this is the last month at 90 days - if that holds is a different conversation

We do not know. This is a question for your Council to ask their contact at the National office.
