_I am trying to register as an adult for my son’s BSA troop, however my scouting account is linked to his Cub Scout troop in a different council. I can not find a way to change councils and add his troop. Any ideas?_ Steve Member ID 139240923 Registered in Mt Baker Council Want to register in Chief Seattle Council 609 Troop 422 ---

@StevenMcKenzie1 Try using [https://beascout.org](https://beascout.org) to register. Each Council has their own Scouting America Member IDs so you will be assigned a new number. Not all Councils accept online applications so if you can’t register at beascout, contact the new council for assistance. ---

yes, I have tried to, but it won’t let me select his troop and is pre-populated with his cub scout council ---
