Individual Advancement Progress in Scoutbook

Entering Advancements

Click on the Scout’s name in the Roster screen.

A new Screen will show the Scout’s advancement progress.

If you click on the View More button (to the right) you can drill down and look at the requirements for the badge they are working on. Note it shows the 6 required adventures at the top and the possible elective adventures at the bottom. It also indicates if the Scout has started working on any of the adventures, or if they have completed any. 

Leaders are able to add advancement credit for previous ranks (for bookkeeping purposes.) For example, a leader may approve Tiger advancements for a Scout who is currently in a Wolf den. Note that parents and Scouts do not have this capability.

Scoutbook Plus will default to the current 2024 requirements. If you would like to work on the previous year’s requirements, you will be able to, through August 2024, by selecting the requirement’s version year at the top.

To the left you can mark an entire rank as approved or awarded.

When you click on an adventure, you will go to the next screen.

From here, you can mark individual requirements as completed or approved (leaders only,) and add comments. This is similar to the functionality in the traditional Scoutbook. Remember to Save your work. 

If you click on the resource page line, you will be sent to the Leader Resources for that adventure.
