We went Troopmaster to Internet Advancement which then went to Scoutbook. But our Troopmaster is not interfacing with Internet Advancement 2.0 -
Scoutbook not uploading troopmaster adv. file

The last court of honor was in March. I didn't have this problem I had the report in a few hours. Could be the size. -
I am overall overseeing the process and helping out with some specifics. Usually we tag on an Eagle Court of Honor after a regular Court of Honor. We usually don't have a problem with attendance. The SPL I agree can help with this. I have been in scouting now 20 years. All the troops I have been in with my two sons, the Eagle Court of Honor was usually organized by the parent(s) with guidance from the scout leadership.

I don't think attending the Court of Honor is a problem. I don't think the mother in charge is having difficulty finding scouts in specific ranks to attend. We have many Life scouts giving lots of opportunities for younger scouts to help at their Eagle project workdays. Most projects have opportunities for younger scouts to help out. We also do other service as well for our Charter organization as well as the community.

Yes @Eagle94-A1 that is the dilemma and I believe that is the source he is using. However the district advancement chair says it doesn't fall in the realm of service as well. And then of course everything needs to be fair so scouts would want to know why they didn't get service hours for COH of any kind that they participated in.

So the scoutmaster says he found through research that he can decide if an event should be considered for service as a scoutmaster. This is an Eagle Scout Ceremony for scouts in our troop. I'm not understanding why they should be bribed to volunteer to help out if first they are asked and second they are doing a good turn by participating and how do you count the time spent. Secondly, our district advancement says "Service cannot be for the benefit of the Scouting Organization. Defeats the purpose of “Service”. " So if you are saying "It is troop/unit service" that it be documented as such?
