Scoutbook New Features - 2020-09-21

per September 21, 2020 Scoutbook Updates - Merit Badge Counselors

  • Merit Badge Counselors
    • Merit Badge Counselors are now imported from ScoutNET. Units no longer have the ability to add or remove Merit Badge Counselors. When a Merit Badge Counselor is added to ScoutNET by the Council, the position will be pushed to Scoutbook within 48 hours.
    • For Councils that have not uploaded a Merit Badge Counselor list, the MBC can add or remove merit badges they counsel.
    • For Councils that have uploaded a Merit Badge Counselor list, the list of merit badges an MBC counsels remains locked. The list can be updated either by the council adding or removing Merit Badges in ScoutNET or the council uploading a new Merit Badge Counselor list.
    • The MBC upload file must still begin with <council_number>_mbc but may have any legal file name characters after mbc and before .csv. Note: the file format has changed. Review the FAQ and instructions on the Manage MBC List page for details.
