My son tried to send a message to his eagle coach last night but could not use scoutbook to do that. Our troop preferred that our scouts send messages to the leaders through scoutbook because it auto-copied their parents on the email. This feature is not an option for him in scoutbook plus and the legacy scoutbook feature was removed.

Is there a setting in scoutbook plus to turn messaging on for the scouts? Also- why was the legacy scoutbook feature removed before being ported to scoutbook plus.

@EricRuby this is a known Issue - Scouting America IT does not release schedules. Watch the [Scoutbook - Scoutbook Plus Change Log](https://discussions.scouting.org/c/scoutbook/scoutbook-change-log/16) - Scouting Forums for an announcement of the fix.
