Our Troop just completed it's re-charter and there are some changes with regard to our roster.  Are the BSA charter systems and Scoutbook connected?  Meaning, when your re-charter contains roster changes, are those changes automatically reflected in Scoutbook?  Or does Troop Admin need to update their Scoutbook roster accordingly.  

Many Thanks !

Hello All, 

I have a few scouts that would like to start using Scoutbook with their parents but up until recently have been recording their req's, activity logs, etc in the paper book.  What is the correct way to enter that info into Scoutbook ?  Thank you All !

I apologize for posting this in the Council Relations topic, but my question is in regards to the minimum number of registered youth.  My understanding is that a Scouts BSA Troop needs a minimum of 5 registered youth in order to maintain it's charter status with the BSA.  Please feel to correct if wrong.  But my biggest question is, what happens to the Troop if those minimum requirements (whatever they are) for both youth and registered leaders are not met when it comes time to re-charter?  How is a situation like that handled, and who handles it?  

Thank You All !!

Fred, 

That makes a lot of sense and thank you for the feedback.  I feel the same way and agree 100%.   Thanks again !

Wow...that's an awesome amount of info (in a good way) and Thank You so very much for the feedback.  It definitely clarified a lot for me, for sure, and I guess my only other question is.....per the GSS verbiage of "2 Adult Leaders" and in some cases in the GSS verbiage of "2 TRAINED Adult Leaders", does the word "Leader" mean to say a registered, YPT certified adult who currently holds a leadership position in the troop?  And can a "Leader" be one that is not IOLS "Trained" ?  

Thank You Again.  You All Are Awesome !

I apologize if this is a well known policy, but I have not been able to find a definitive answer as of yet.  We have a committee member who has been with the Troop for a long time.  He is a former SM, ASM and MBC.  He has decided to serve now, only, as a committee member and we are grateful for his service, however, some of the parents of our newer scouts have questioned me as to whether or not it is allowed according to BSA policy for a committee member to go on overnight outings, summer camp, canoe trips, etc.  By the definitions as I understand in YPT, at least 2 Trained Adult Leaders must be present, which usually we have covered, but at times, it is an outing with only 1 Trained Adult Leader (one of our ASM's) and this Committee Member and no other adults.  

Thank you all.  Very happy to be part of the forum.  I've used it many times to find answers and advice and consider it a very valuable resource.
