We have multiple new Cub Scouts with 2 parents that want email reminders, rsvp capability and the ability to enter work done at home. I went into each child and initiated the invitation from Scoutbook legacy since it wasnt an option in Scoutbook Plus.

One Mom got back to me wanting to know what the user name was for the password she was sent.

Is there an easy way to sort this out for these new parents? A Tutorial or way to find out what the usernames are?

Do they need to start a [my.scouting.org](http://my.scouting.org) account - can they link to their child from there and if so how?

any and all help would be good since this is a critical thing to finish this weekend

Legacy Parents now mean Nothing @LianneRutty - you need to go to Scout in SB\_ - on left side under Scout Name \> Relationship \> click the + to add a parent

> OK to try to clear this up. Legacy Scoutbook had CONNECTIONS - those were user made to connect an adult to a Scout - leaders or Parents could make connections. Connections attached on SB USER (not name) to another, some people have multiple SB USERS all with no Member ID (MID) or different MIDs. RELATIONSHIPS are what is used in other Scouting Platforms and so many exist. It is RELATIONSHIPS (of a certain order, ex Parent) that allow a user to Register or renew a registration for a Scout.
