District Leadership
One of the first things that need to be done is to get currently registered merit badge counselor to create profiles. There are 2 main way of doing this
- Bulk email invites
- Manual profile creation
Bulk Email Invites
(Dashboards -> Invites --- menu)
This system allows you to send personal emails to every registered merit badge counselor that doesn’t have a profile already setup. ScoutCommunity.com gets the data from ScoutNET, so you can know you have the most up to date information.
