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.
Hello,
I am a MB counselor and I just went through a session with a scout where he accomplished sign-offs for a lot of the requirements, but when I enter them into Scoutbook and try to save, the form comes back blank. I have tried both Chrome and Firefox, and I tried multiple times to enter the requirements. The scout is currently registered, we are working with the correct version of the MB, and I am able to see him linked to me for this MB.
Has anyone else had this issue recently?
Thank you for your help.
Iām not sure if this is a separate issue or related but:
I checked another MB that I recently did with a scout who is not in our troop. I did update his record with his requirements (Citizenship in Society) and they were there when I checked but now I see that his form is blank too. (I donāt have his BSA numberāI believe his Scout Master set up his MB with me).
I have had this issue before with a different scouts as well, where the requirements didnāt show up on my screen. However at that time, our Advancement Chair could verify that the scoutās requirements were signed off and they looked checked off to her on her screen.
Thank you very much for trying to figure this out.
Interestingly, when I go to āPrint Blue Cardsā I can see the items that are checked off for both this scout and the other scout. It seems that it is just not showing up on the āquick entryā screen.
Thank you.
@CatrionaLogan - perhaps some screen shots could help. But once entered you should be able to go back to the merit badge requirements and see if indeed they are marked approved by you.
So poking around again, if I go to āEdit MBs for MB counselorsā, I can see the requirements and they are saved. If I go to āQuick Entry for MB counselorsā however, I cannot see the previous entries and the form is blank. I am attaching screen shots below. Unfortunately, this is different from what I was seeing yesterday, where I could not access the āEdit MBs pageā at all, and the Quick Entry screen was blank.
Is the Quick Entry screen always supposed to be blank even if entries were added and I hit āsaveā?
In the āEdit MBsā screen, it is showing that the entries were put in yesterday and approved today. What I did today was to re-enter the requirements under āQuick Entryā in order to try it again (and hit save). This time it now it is appearing in the āEdit MBsā screen.
As long as I can verify that the approvals are being saved, Iām OK with this, but I guess if someone could verify if the āQuick Entry for MB counselorsā should always be blank, or if this suggests a possible issue, Iād be grateful for your input. Thank you so much for your time and help.
@CatrionaLogan - the quick entry does indeed resetā¦ no bug then at all. I would always recommend that you go into the MB itself to assure that the entries hit. But indeed the quick entry becomes a clean slate once you save
