Which Website Do I Want?

 

Have you ever wondered why your username and/or password does not work when you are trying to login into a scouting site? It may be because you did not know there are two different sites. Each of these sites help you access different information to help you in your scouting position. It’s like being a member of two different banks. Depending on what you need, you would go to that site for the right information.

The National Scout site is My.Scouting.org. This site lets you know what trainings you need for your position, what training need to be completed and also updates your personal Scouting profile. You need to set up a username and password to login to the account. This site also helps current District and Council positions in seeing who needs trainings and be a support to the adult scouters they serve.  

Scoutbook requires the same username and password as your My.Scouting.org. account. Scoutbook is your unit’s access to the advancements for all scouts in Pack or Troop and Crew. The Key Three in the scout unit have the rights to login to Scoutbook and can add three additional members of their unit to have access.  For example, the Den leader could be added to mark advancements or changes for their den members and the Advancement Chairman will also need access.  A scout parent is able to see their child’s advancement. 

Special note: Scoutbook has main scout positions that have the right to be able to have access for your unit. If a person cannot login it may be that National does not have them listed in a curtain scout position to gain that access. 

The next Roundtable April 5th will be a Council wide Roundtable! You will learn from Council experts all about Scoutbook!

The Crossroads of the West Council Scout site is www.utahscouts.org. This is the site you access in order to register for camps or council events like University of Scouting, Commissioner College, Merit Badge Pow-Wow’s, District Dinner’s etc. All of these use the Tentaroo program. You are to set up your own username and password to login for these items. It does not work with your National username and password unless you set it up to be the same.
