Youth Leader (SPL, JASM, Patrol Leader) Permissions

Hi, @LisaBattern,

In Scoutbook (the web interface, not the Scouting app, AFAIK), the scouts can message one another, assuming that the scouts have their own accounts (i.e. have been invited by the parents). If not, the scout has to message the parents of the scouts in the patrol. There is no easy way to grab the parents of a scout without knowing the names native to Scoutbook.

However, if the scout sending the message uses the Feature Assistant Extension, he or she can create a custom email group, which can then be used to message the same group of parents. However, this is a static list on each browser/platform, which will have to be updated by the scout any time they add or remove a scout in the patrol, or if they switch browsers or platforms (e.g. if you originally create the list on your home PC, you need to recreate it on your phone).
