Welcome! This forum has a treasure trove of great info – Scouters helping Scouters! Just a heads up, though - all content, information, and opinions shared on this forum are those of the author, not the BSA.
A Merit Badge Counselor who is not a unit leader and who does not have a child scout who is also RSVP’d ‘Yes’ to an event does not show up in the RSVP report.
Steps to reproduce:
RSVP ‘Yes’ to an event for a MBC, but do not RSVP ‘Yes’ for their child scout.
Run RSVP Report, showing ‘Yes’ responses only
Expected Result:
All people RSVP’d ‘Yes’ show up on the report.
Actual Result:
The MBC is not shown anywhere on the RSVP Report.
I haven’t been able to replicate this in my unit using Firefox. I tried this for a scout who has both a registered unit-level leader parent and a parent who is an MBC, but not a unit-level leader. I RSVPd “Yes” for both parents, but left their scout’s RSVP as “Maybe”, and the parents showed up in the report as a “Yes”, while the scout showed up as a “Maybe”.
Was there a particular browser under which this was failing? Is there maybe something unique about my test case that’s causing it to work? I don’t have another MBC parent who isn’t also a unit-level leader of some sort to test with.
Is the MBC a registered leader in the unit under a different position? MBC isn’t a Unit position, so they might not be recorded the same way as a unit leader or parent.
Gottcha. I would rephrase it to be an issue with RSVPs that include a parent that is not a leader in the unit, but is registered as a MBC in the council.
