Re inability to view details of an event and being redirected to the dashboard, I am suspicious that that might be because neither you nor your scout are on the RSVP list for the event. I am currently dealing with some events like that, some where my son is and I am not (which I can then still at least view), and some where both of us are and everything functions normally. Disclaimer, I am a new user/scout so I may be totally wrong!
Made a post about it here: Calendar/event RSVP troubleshooting
