Training question and complaint

You can always add the appropriate position in scoutbook a lot easier than filling out a new app and getting all the appropriate signatures.

@jacobfetzer, amen to that! Just raising the issue of unintended consequences of such a change. Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea, I would just want to make sure it works and doesn’t cause delays or headaches. :grin:

Are you referring to the Scouting app or the Den Leader Experience? The Scouting app only looks for a parent connection to a Scout.

@JenniferOlinger, sorry, my bad. I meant the My.Scouting app. I could not use that at all as a Lion Guide, but as a Den Leader, it opened up app options that should have been available to any type of Den Leader. The Council Registrar and I worked on this last year, so my memory isn’t good about the exact restriction, but I remember it was something very pertinent to a Den Leader that I could not access. I have intentionally avoided the DLE as it doesn’t allow the true flexibility required of a “real world” Den.

The Scouting mobile app doesn’t allow leader-level interactions with scouts, AFAIK. All I can see, despite being a unit admin, is the same interface my wife gets.

The only way I’m aware of to get the den leader-level interaction is via Scoutbook (scoutbook.com), either using the DLE (boo!) or “normal” Scoutbook.
