Print Bulk Blue Card Options Missing

Scoutbook Scoutbook & Scoutbook Plus Bugs

True Issue: When selecting to Blue Card Bulk Print from Advancements tab of Roster, the Filter for Select Status offers Complete and Incomplete. We need Approved. I have more than one parent who is a leader that marks off items in merit badge that his kid completes and makes the MB show as Complete. I plan to address him doing that again, but i can’t seem to electronically stop him. The assigned MB Counselor is asked to check it and Approve the badge. But sometimes there is an issue. I’m printing cards for COH and getting partials in my batch. The only clue was that the MBCs signature was missing. And before you SUAC guys tell me I don’t need to print Blue Cards because Scoutbook+ is the official record, you are messing with old people who start quoting 100 years of Scouting Legacy. So please don’t. Many of us are working with Scoutmasters, Committee Chairs, and CORs that have been doing this since Baden Powell still walked the earth. This is about a feature that was working in legacy Scoutbook that doesn’t in Plus. If Scoutbook+ is going to support printing Blue Cards we need it to have options and working features, or it is a bug in your software. When you are told not to support it, pull it completely versus not updating or maintaining an old feature.

Also: In another post where someone reported the Blue Card export having information that is already on the pre-printed 3 to a page Blue Card SKU 646956, a SUAC tagged member mentioned the form was changed. It wasn’t. I have been using these for 3 years. Your output for Plain Paper is identical on odd number pages when it should not be.

I do appreciate all you do, and Scoutbook+ is the most friendly and usable that it has ever been.

I believe this had already been requested. Scouting America IT doesn’t publish when or if items on the requested feature list will be released, so our only option as users is to watch the Change Log:

I am reporting as a Bug. It was a feature in Legacy whether or not to print Partial MBs. A partially completed First Aid MB wants to print three blue cards to show all the blank requirements. We were previously able to choose to only show Approved MBs. And new SKU for Scouting America logo is 661944, but form is otherwise unchanged from previous versions.

@MarkThomas4 As far as I know, the only options in Scoutbook (legacy) were for:

  • Completed Badges
  • Uncompleted Badges
  • Completed and Uncompleted Badges

But you can check at:

Your link has been set to redirect. It goes to Scoutbook Plus . In fact when I type it as a link it is updating to show “Scoutbook Plus”. I am trying to type that it is redirecting to Advancements,dot,Scouting,dot,org,/,Roster. Maybe as a SUAC member you are on a VPN to go behind a firewall, but outside on the internet it is redirecting.

I was trying to get the url directly, but you can get to it by logging in to Scoutbook Plus, and then click on Scoutbook Legacy on the left side menu.

Well shiver me timbers. I guess I’m losing my mind. No Approved option, and I would have sworn in court it was there.

At least you can do a comparison by printing Blue Cards In Bulk, then again with the Print on Plain Paper option and compare the output to the same two reports in Scoutbook+. I double checked to make sure I didn’t hallucinate that also.

Thank you Jennifer!!!
