Scouting

The calendar just keeps saying unable to retrieve events. My scout is listed 3 times. Not sure why.

The last update now shows duplicates of both my youth in the app and the calendar states that it is unable to retrieve events and to try again later. The uninstalled the app and reinstalled no change.

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 link sends user to iTunes instead of AppStore.

Unable to log in on my scouts device. Keeps saying undefined is not a function.

I deleted the app because it was being glitchy. When I redownloaded it and entered in my correct username and password, it’s keeps saying “undefined is not a function”. Super irritating because I can’t see the dates of when all my merit badges were completed. Incredibly frustrating.

Special Needs

I am stuck in a loop. It keeps saying to update, but on the App Store the only option is ‘Open’ and doesn’t do anything

As a scouter with two scouts, I find this app reliable, attractive, and useful. It’s easy to navigate and the look and feel is consistent with the newer Scoutbook+Internet Advancement. I mostly use the calendar rsvp to events (it’s so quick and easy) and to see where my scouts are at in their merit badge or rank work. Our troop relies on the hard copy Scout Handbook as primary record and my scouts are responsible for those, but having an electronic copy for me is quite useful in having conversations with my scouts about what they want to pursue next. Some of our older scouts with smartphones use this app often. I have observed them at meetings or in the car going to a camp out to verify the specific details of a requirement to ensure they follow it. I also like that they use the app to augment their scout handbook rather than to replace it. I have had this app for some years now and find it has come a long way since the earlier versions.

I constantly have to sign in, and when I do, I have to kill the app and reopen in order for it to move to the next step. It’s telling me now that I need to update, and brings me to the iTunes Store - not the App Store - and there it tells me I have the current version, but the app insists it’s the wrong version.
