Does Not Work Correctly
If you want to link your account with your youth scout and see their calendar for meetings days then you’re in luck. Otherwise, the app is mostly functionless. You can’t add service work or activities or any other projects. You can enter all the information but it won’t save. You’ll just receive an error message. You can update the app or uninstall and redownload it. It doesn’t fix anything. Menus pop up at odd screen locations when typing making it difficult to read what is being entered. I can only guess that this app was developed as a service project by a scout. It looks great but needs a lot of professional repair to make it a useful app.

UPDATE: Good option for tracking Scout progress.
As a parent this app provides an easy way to view my Scout’s progress. I wish the notifications would work for calendar events on iOS but with notifications on I have yet to see this work. One issue that makes this app difficult to use is the social login (Google) hangs at a screen “We are loading your experience” and the only way to get past this is to close and reopen the app. Not a great login experience but since I need to use the same account for the other Scouting apps as Cubmaster I cannot change it. **** Please fix the login issue. ***** Otherwise the app seems to have improved over time and many of stability issues have been resolved. UPDATE: the “We are loading your…” seems to be resolved and I am seeing more improvements. I like the attendance feature but I wish the Event Details were compatible with the rich text formatting of Scoutbook Plus.
UPDATE: Subscribe option in the Calendar similar to SportsEngine would be a great feature to add events to the device calendar.

Please remove discontinued merit badges
I would request that you remove the following discontinued merit badges from your listing within the Advancement section: carpentry, computers, medicine, pathfinding, signaling, and tracking. One of our scouts started working on Tracking without checking with the Troop leadership because it was in the app. We had to tell him he could not earn it, and he was disappointed because he had already done a lot of the requirements.
It would eliminate confusion for those scouts who use the app for most of their scouting activities. Thank you.
