When I open the app and go to the calendar, I get the error “unable to retrieve events, please try again later” It’s been a couple of weeks and it won’t resolve. I’ve tried logging out and back in and it won’t change. There are event and information when I log both into Scout Book and Scout Book …

I know that the app hadn’t been updated for the new cub program, but I’m not seeing any issues with the calendar in the app (for my unit at least). What version of the app is running, and on what platform?

We’re experimenting with using events on advancement.scouting.org and getting the same error. Our advancement chair has been seeing the error “Unable to retrieve events, please try again later” for the last few weeks. As a result, no events show up for her, not even the campout event I just added …

@KennethNewquist , Which version of the app are you using? If you can find out, what version of the app is your advancement chair using? Also, the app is aimed at parents/guardians and scouts, not at scouters. I’m wondering if the new system is being more strict about accessing the app when “just…

@KennethNewquist - they would still be able to sign up and see events at advancements.scouting.org . The scouting app is at issue. Make sure they are good with that access.

I’m seeing the same issue. I have reported it to the developers.

I’ve been seeing this error for the past 2 - 3 weeks as well. As the Scoutmaster it was nice to be able to see and record attendance in this app. Much quicker than having to drill down in the websites.
