Merit Badge Counselor Management

 ScoutCommunity.com is a new way of managing Merit Badge Counselors.  It makes it easy for councils to adhere to the procedures and standards set forth in the "Guide To Advancement 2017" (GTA) published by the National Boy Scouts of America.

Why ScoutCommunity.com

  • Enables Council/District volunteers to process counselors according to the GTA 2017.
    • Approve every merit badge by viewing qualification and/or uploaded certificates
    • Verifies BSA Registration using ScoutNET data
    • Ensures youth protection training is current
  • Counselors maintain their own list of merit badges they want to teach
  • Allows unit leadership to search all counselors across the district 24X7 within a secure portal
  • Raduis distance filtering to find the nearest counselor
  • Unit leadership is able to run reports “by badge” or “by counselor”
  • Counselors can optionally be associated with a unit even though it is a District position
  • Automatic Email notifications
    • When BSA registration is completed
    • Approval to mentor merit badges
    • Youth Protection Training advance notices
  • Easy District Merit Badge Counselor renewals and District Leadership renewals
  • E-Attendance; simple scan and go for tracking trainings and other meeting attendance

How it works

​ScoutCommunity.com uses ScoutNET data to verify every position for all users to help ensure integrity and security.  This also makes for easy maintenance so when a position expires within ScoutNET it will also expire within ScoutCommunity.com.  With the integration of ScoutNET data ScoutCommunity.com is able to automatically validate and assign the proper permissions to allow council, district, and unit leadership to have the access they need to run reports, process merit badge counselors, and manage users.

Pricing

ScoutCommunity.com is a subscription based service paid for by your Council or District.  So if you’re a Merit badge counselor, unit/district leader there are no fees.  Simply click on the “Register / Log In” link and create your profile.

Pricing is based on a Council-wide basis.
