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.
I have two my.scouting.org logins - one for my child’s registration & one for me. I created both using the same email address because my child does not have their own email address. Under one of the logins, I am able to record advancement info in Scoutbook.
I just tried logging in to do advancement & received this error message:
Warning, another user is using the same e-mail address. If this is unexpected, contact your local council…
I updated the email address so they are no longer identical but still receive the same error when trying to log-in to do advancement.
I appreciate your assistance in helping me fix this. Thank you!

@JulieCoons1 I have merged your Scoutbook accounts.
You have 2 usernames at my.Scouting, but you only need one. Do you want to keep the username that looks similar to your e-mail address (no initials at the end)?
Please contact your local council and ask them to use their Registrar Tools to look up your child. In the “Relationships” tab / section, they should remove you as parent under your secondary BSA member ID number (the one ending in -131). Then they should add you as parent under your primary BSA member ID number (the one ending in -432). This will help to prevent future issues.
Thank you, Jennifer! One username is fine as long as I can use it that single username to: renew membership for me & my scout, see the troop roster & renewal dates for individuals, and record advancement info in Scoutbook. Yes, I prefer the username that looks similar to my e-mail address (no initials at the end). Thank you.
I will also contact my council.
Thanks so much for your assistance. I really appreciate it.
Hi Jennifer - I just logged in to the forums using the username without initials. I also just logged into my.scouting.org (can see roster) & SB (can help adv chair with that same username.
Thanks SO much for your help! Have a wonderful weekend.
