On Feb 1, 2021, we will remove any remaining unregistered Merit Badge Counselors (MBC) from Scoutbook, delete MBC connections with any Scouts they are counseling, and remove the ability of units to change which Merit Badges are approved for MBCs. At that point the only remaining MBC positions will h…

OK- thanks. So will that eventually sync for other adults or do they need to do something in Scoutbook? For instance, my husband’s merit badges aren’t in Scoutbook.

Cynthia, I sent you a private message. Click the green circle with white C in the upper right of your forum window.

Perhaps that’s because it knows, that I know what I’ve registered for? There are green checkmarks next to A…

District positions are not listed in Scoutbook. Click on My Dashboard → Administration → My Account → My Positions. You should see your MBC position listed with the merit badges.

Thanks Ed. I did see that info last night; copy re the District position not displaying. Ed
