Tiger requirement 4G reads, "Visit a television station, radio station, or newspaper office. Find out how people there communicate with others."
Does this really make sense? How many Tiger cubs are able to go out and complete this requirement? In light of 9/11 a lot of TV, radio and newspaper stations are refusing to allow tours. I think that this should be eliminated and replace it with something that makes sense and is feasible for a Tiger den to actually complete.

Include an option in the payments and pledges function that will allow us to scan in a stack of cards, then change the status on all of them to "W" without having to go into each record individually. This would be great for unchecking "Copy Prospect to New Campaign" box as well. A more advanced version would show a warning if there is a current-year pledge, and allow an override.

Currently our Fundraising software allows us to collect emails on donors. But, the software will not allow me to create a monthly bill and email it to donors, unless I have my staff manually go through and create this by hand. With postage going up a $100 pledge is costing almost $10 to collect if billed monthly etc.. To help council's with costs we should have the option to email a donor thier FOS bill instead of using Letter based mail system for those donors who would like to get thier bills this way.

Why don't we open this website to volunteers? Is there a plan to open this website to all of our registered volunteers? If so, what is the time frame for this happen?

It would be very helpful to have the "Jamboree Fee Payment Transaction Report" print out alphabetically.
Can you please change the format of this report to alphabetical.
Thank you for your consideration!

Some prospects have a local contact address, but need to have the bill sent elsewhere for payment. An "alternate billing address" option would be helpful.

I would like to pull a report based on pledges or payments made within a certain date range

Almost every time we print billing statements or pledge cards, we add the same message or comment. It would be nice to be able to save a selection of frequently used comments so it doesn't have to be retyped each time.

With so many people using cell phones as their primary, or ONLY number, we need to have the option to include that number on pledge cards. The only alternative at this time is to incorrectly identify it as a home or work number.

In the print repository, it would be nice to have a button that lets you "delete all". When reports stack up, it's a pain to delete them individually.

There should be a standardized process for ordering BIN items as well as a comprehensive list of all BIN items available to be ordered in order to facilitate easier ordering for councils.

After a recent Eagle board of review, a Troop committee chair asked who had signed the application because he had never seen it. upon inspection of the application after the board of review passed the scout the signatures of the Scoutmaster and Committee Chair were from the previous two people and the current ones did not know this application had been processed. Nowhere in the advancement guide is there a requirement or suggestion that those dates and signatures be checked to ensure they were signed after the project was completed and not before. When a registrar submits the eagle application on line there is no entry date for the scoutmaster, committee chair or the scout required so therefore the application will not be flagged if the required entries are incorrect. The scout, scoutmaster and committee chair dates should be entered into the computer to ensure the signatures were done AFTER the project completion and not before.

It is my understanding that a volunteers "trained" status in reports is based upon the most recent three trainings they have taken. So as they take more and more courses online and they are added to a persons training record in their profile on ScoutNet, when they take that fourth course (for example Trek Safely) which get's added to the top of their training log, it pushes down in the list one of the required courses for them to be considered trained so ScoutNet changes their status and does not report them as being trained.
We have many Commissioners that are 100% trained but ScoutNet does not report it that way because their last three courses were not the ones they needed to be considered trained for their position.
This needs to be corrected in ScoutNet.

I can't believe that in this day and age we dont have all the training manuals in PDF format available online for the professionals, They have to be in electronic format somewhere since they are printed. We should be making it easier for professionals to have access to all the latest up to date information thats out there.

It would be great to have an edit window available for "Not Approved" Tour Permits so the reason(s)for non-approval could be e-mailed to the creator.

Remove the plaid from the Webelos uniform. Follow the lead of the Centennial Boy Scout uniform and go for a more subtle and muted look. The uniform should be something that a 4th or 5th grade boy wants to wear to emulate older boys. Older boys don't wear plaid hats or plaid neckerchiefs.

We need to have some kind of message board, banner, or some kind of way; that we can communicate with the volunteers that have myscouting accounts. Not only would this cut down on some volunteer frustrations; but it might also cut down on the volume of phone calls and emails from volunteers having issues with their myscouting account. It needs to be something that can be updated fairly easily from our side. Then if we see a problem we can update the message quickly and communicate with a large volume of people at once.

The addition of the mass email feature through MyBSA is a bold step forward and long overdue. As more and more communications move to the internet we need to keep up.
For years councils have direct mailed various marketing pieces to our youth members; camp brochures, popcorn, Scout-O-Rama info, program events etc. This allowed us to get around the various unit level gatekeepers and gave us a chance to communicate directly with our end user.
Since many youth have their own email addresses we need to take advantage of this opportunity. Please consider adding a place on the youth applications for youth email addresses. (It exists on the Exploring application.)
The availability of youth email addresses would allow almost unlimited marketing ability in recruitment, program, and retention. (I'm sure that National Supply could do very well in doing some direct marketing of equipment, and various other items.) It would also save councils a significant amount of money in postage.)
In the age of blogs, texting, and twittering, we need quicker and easier ways to communicate with our clients.

Can the "hold" feature also include the phone number? When several people are added w/the same address the hold is great but the phone number still has to be added each time.
|
|

It would be helpful if the National Council Telephone Directory (in MyBSA/Resources) included email addresses.
Also, include email addresses on all forms sent to local councils, allowing councils to save postage, paper, and time by scanning and returning forms electronically.

Couldn't a persons OA membership show as a tab on the person profile? If their OA membership were handled as unit and district membership is, it would be a fast way to verify membership in Scouting and also keep mailing info, etc up to date.

Unit Commissioners should have the ability to print out a unit roster in order to do an Inventory Check when they visit their units. Roster should only include registered individuals name and position within the unit.

We should try to get the home page of google to have a scout banner around it for BSA 100th birthday. They do it for major holidays and events. I would say this just might qualify

Scouts age 18-20 need to pay the national registration fee twice if they want to be registered as a youth in the Venture Crew and as an adult in a Boy Scout Troop.
Allow them to have multiple registrations by completing two applications but only pay one registration fee.

Allow Council and National Staff, along with Unit Commissioners and other District-level volunteers the opportunity to view the Tour Permit Application tab on "myScouting.org" Currently, only unit leaders have this view which poses problems for staff and district leadership to coach, educate, and assist in completion of the new process. The Scoutnet training and info area on tour permits (for Council staff) goes only so far for the front-line folks trying to assist unit leaders.
