Remove Merit Badge that are added by mistake

Scoutbook New Scoutbook Feature Requests

Believe it or not, unit leaders occasionally make a mistake and “start” a merit badge that the Scout never intends to work on, This commonly happens when signing Scouts up for merit badges at Summer Camp or for merit badge clinics. I know that there is still a way to remove merit badges through the Legacy Scoutbook but us advancement folks still need a way to remove merit badges when the transition to Scoutbook+ is complete. I can say from experience that parents do not understand that having a merit badge that has never been started or put by mistake on the Scout’s record that they can see, doesn’t mean anything and does affect their Scout at all.

In SB+ a MB is not Started unless a requirement is marked or a comment is made. So just touching the MB in SB+ does not start it.

There could be hanging ones from Legacy - but that does not effect the scout really

@CharlesOlson - there is also the ability for the scout/parent to start the merit badge via scoutbook plus or the scouting app. To me it is a non-issue

Currently, you can still go to Legacy Scoutbook, pick the Scout, pick “Scout’s Merit Badges” (NOT Scout’s Advancement), click the “0%” and “Remove Merit Badge”. If the 0% does not show, you might have to select a different Version (bar at the top of the MB screen,under Invite Councelor).
