Welcome! This forum has a treasure trove of great info ā 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.
@LeeGoolsby yes we are in the same state trying to help the advancement chair and move into one single system for tracking everything. Hoping to make this happen this year and recharter via scout book online.
@KevinNeese thanks for the suggestion. I thought that all the activities could be tracked in scoutbook and would cover the requirements. I need to check with our council contact for more details in this regard.
Recharter is actually in Internet Advancement. Everyone must recharter in that system regardless if you use Scoutbook or not. So, there isnāt really a choice.
Remember - no one will actually be using āScoutBookā for recharter. EVERYONE will be using āOnline Internet Recharter 2.0ā.
Though for the most part - the information in āScoutBookā at the time that āOnline Internet Recharter 2.0ā goes live - should be the same. They do not remain synced after the Recharter is started.
@edavignon I agree with Ed. I know that a number of units in our district are EXPLICITLY directed to not use I tenet recharter due to CO changes. This year, for this recharter season.
The Point is there can be an exception to any Policy or rule. Such as the number of MB needed for Eagle and what MBās are required.
If a Council chooses not to follow the Policy - that is between them and BSA.
I know that one of the many reasons that BSA went to Online Internet Recharter 2.0 - was to help make sure that adults that are Charted have met YPT and background checksā¦
Obviously there are other reasons - but they are trying to help reduce problems.
