Our Troop’s former software tracked and calculated the time in a position of responsibility for each rank. Does ScoutBook do this? If so, I must be missing how to pull up this report. Any help would be appreciated.

I know you are just a messenger but I feel like this is a very tired excuse. Of course as leaders we need to be checking to see that they actually “served actively in your troop”. Just like all items in Scoutbook a leader should be approving and ensuring they met their requirements. The other platfo…

I would throw the question back at the Scout. If the Scout came to me and said “When have I completed my 6 month POR requirement for life?” I would ask the Scout “When did you start the POR? Do YOU feel you have been active for the required 6 months?” If the Scout can’t answer the when question, …

We have elections every six months. If a scout can’t remember in October that he was elected in April, he’s probably got bigger problems than positions of responsibility.

You also have to take into consideration when they earned their last rank as well and sometimes that can be difficult to remember! Again simplifying the issue would not be out of line.

The Scout’s Leadership page already does this. Hover your cursor over the last rank earned and you can see the Scout’s date of rank. Hover over the individual position patches, and you can see how many days the Scout has held that position while at that rank.

I am not asking for no discussion nor that the scout not be a big part of tracking. I am saying it is not that much to ask to make it more user friendly and easier for the adults to do a quick check! I have scouts that are overzealous and want to rank up quickly. Those scouts shouldn’t be ranked up …

You don’t have to go to several different screens. Just go to the Scout’s Leadership screen and make sure that the Scout’s PORs qualify for the rank requirement (i.e. Assistant Patrol Leader, Patrol Scribe, Patrol Quartermaster, etc. do not qualify and Bugler only qualifies for Star and Life - not …

OK, how so? When I go into the leadership screen it just shows what positions he has served in that rank for how many days. But it makes it look like he still has a ways to go. Even if he has served over 183 days in a rank that only requires 6 months. So that doesn’t really tell me anything. This pa…

Hi, @AlyssaSchaefbauer , Navigate down to the scout’s leadership page. If all of the positions qualify, then then the number of days listed next to the rank is the number of days served. Done. If not (e.g. the snapshot below where some leadership was as APL and some was as Instructor), hover over…

Alyssa - I think you are after the auto complete mode that Troopmaster implements. The one variable that would come into play is that the scout can serve in one of more leadership positions and does not need to be continuous or contiguous. So the stop start dates would also need to be taken into the…
