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.
I am the admin for Scoutbook for our troop and my son happens to be the scribe and the calendar editor (leadership positions assigned in Scoutbook). Despite the calendar showing our troop meetings, he cannot take attendance with the app (on his phone). He can see the event, but there are no attendees showing or any buttons. The scouts are invited to the event and I can log into the website on my phone and take attendance via that method. Is there something I am missing or not properly designating when I or he creates the meeting that is preventing the app from giving him this access? I have run out of ideasā¦
Short answer, yes. He can take attendance through the website but not the app.
I just created a bogus troop meeting and ensured it was correct. I refreshed my Scoutbook app, as did my son, so that we could both see this new meeting. We expect that once you select the event in the app, you should see a ātake attendanceā button show up. The event was ongoing, time wise, so we were in the middle of it when we attempted to take attendanceā¦ Since we could not get the app to show the ātake attendanceā button he cannot take attendance. He then logged into the website and verified that he could indeed take attendance and save his changes,
