It would be nice to have a quick entry option for Initial Unit Leader Signature, especially when Scouts are signing up for numerous badges during Summer camp. Thanks ---

Unfortunately this doesn’t work if the Scouts have already loaded the MB’s. Maybe a Needs initial signature in the Troop reports? ---

@CD32 The author of the Feature Assistant Extension reports you can use the Quick Entry Start MB function to add the initial unit leader signature even if the MB has already been started. ---

If the badge is already approved, it will be skipped. If not, and the date is empty, it should fill it out. ---

@Matt.Johnson - thank you. the drawback of these forums is that you enter at a current post without the benefit of the prior interactions. I think as a part of conversational threads is that the person who is leading the post should at the very least provide some context or a link back to the original question or issue. But in today’s world many fail to realize that. I entered this with a I tried it did not work… with that being as useless as tits on a bull ---

@GaryFeutz The badges have not been approved. I have gone through the Quick entry Start Merit Badge steps of selecting the Scout, adding the merit badges and then save. When I check the Scouts Advancement tab the merit badges do not show the initial leader signature as being signed. I am the Advancement chair and I am a Full Admin. ---

There’s a way to initial multiple open mbs at once, going through the Print Blue Card option. It allows you to pick a specific Scout/all Scouts and a specific mb/all mbs. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/scouting/original/3X/e/b/eb98fbe7faea41ac398aa653737471cddbd41f93.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/scouting/original/3X/a/b/ab006131b717b03c37a4160d0d6d421a26fb8edb.jpeg) ---
