Transfer Cub to Troop and how to re-enter a boy you marked as ended

[DavidLafko]

@JenniferOlinger Cool thanks

@DavidLafko Something else I would stress is that families still need to fill out and turn in a BSA youth application to officially transfer their Scout to the new troop. Transferring the Scout from one unit to another in Scoutbook is unofficial, and is mainly for calendar and messaging purposes.

So I’ll ask the ignorant question - what is the harm in leaving connections with former Cub Scout leaders?

That aside, I saw a recommendation in this thread to:

connect a Troop Admin to the Scout with Full Control permissions

So how do I go about doing that? Would I need to invite the Troop Admin into my Pack and give them admin rights there too? Are we, the Pack Admin, supposed to know who the Troop Admin is?

Thanks

Only if you are concerned they will change advancement on the scout when they shouldn’t. (I don’t think they’d be able to approve it anyway)

You talk to someone in the troop to find out who usually handles the scoutbook stuff. Then, go to the scout’s page > scout’s connections > add connection. Type that person’s name or email address in the search bar.

Due to privacy and advancement reasons, there is no longer a need for Cub Scout leaders to have a connection to the Scout once the Scout has left the unit. But if it turns out that there is a need, the parents or a leader in the troop can always reconnect them.
