JI am ust getting started trying to upload a Council Meirt Badge Counselor list. We have just under 1200 counselors. I maintain the counselor list in an Access data base and create a ScoutBook formated MBC.CSV to upload the counselors to ScoutBook. The first time I uploaded it reported some error…

Please send an email to: scoutbook.support@scouting.org describing your issue and include a copy of the file you are uploading.

On April 11 I also ended up with duplicate entries for all but a handful of the counselors in our council. I am sending an email to scoutbook.support@scouting.org ) along with the files in question.

Well, I think I figured out the cause of the problem. I had included a District name in almost all of my counselors. When I removed all the data in the Units and District columns of the upload, it matched the existing records correctly and I no longer have duplicate records. Greg

Greg, Thank you for the feedback. I will pass this on to the development team.

Before you pass that information on to the development team… I am a MB counselor in Gregs council, and I now have a duplicate position entry, so the issue is not resolved,

Thanks Joe. All this information helps.

I think Greg is on to something there. I never include district or unit info in my uploads but have the counselor set it themselves. I am not seeing the duplicate problem (last upload evening 4/14) nor am i having any issues with counselors setting their preferences.

Joe, Afer uploading the corrected MBC list, I downloaded the ScoutBook file. I just looked in that file and I only see you listed once. I also see Katherine McKinley once. Were you previously registered as a Counselor by your Troop? I thought all of those disappeared when we first did a Council…

Nobody in out our has a unit owned MB counselor position anymore. I have asked a few people, and some have two council owned MB counselor positions: Their original one, with all of the MBs listed, and a new one created yesterday with no MB listed.
