NOTE: Many issues encountered with Scoutbook involve a Scout or leader member profile. This typically occurs when a unit administrator adds a new profile to Scoutbook in advance of submitting the youth or leader member application to the council registrar. Applications can now be completed and submitted electronically through the BeAScout website. To enable electronic application online registration for your unit, please see: Information About Online Registration for Councils and Unit Leaders . For Scouts and leaders transferring between units and councils, information is available in the links below.
