Intro to MyScouting.org
 
 
MyScouting (www.myscouting.org) is, among other things, the BSA's online training center. Many of the Basic Leader Trainings courses, including Youth Protection Training, This is Scouting, and some Position Specific Trainings, can be completed online to move you toward Trained Status. While anyone can create a login and use the MyScouting system, it is best used when connected to your Membership ID to update your training records with the Dan Beard Council.
 
Using MyScouting is easy. All you need is an a computer with internet access, an email address. Your Membership ID number is not required, but the system can only link your MyScouting account to your membership if you have that number.

New MyScouting Tools


The BSA is excited to introduce new features that are now available in MyScouting Tools. They include:

Key 3 Organization Administrators

A new Organization Profile tool for displaying and managing information. It displays unit information that identifies chartered organizations and their representatives, and allows entry of unit social media contacts (Facebook and Twitter).

Roster Manager functionality is incorporated into Organization Profile for this release and allows roster views by adult, youth or unit, and filter by position.

Initially, Key 3 were able to print membership card(s) for members in paid position(s). Now, unit and district members are also able to print membership card(s) for paid and other positions within their organizations, with the following exceptions:

Executive Officer

Administrative roles

Non-registered “functional” roles

These features for the council and national levels will be extended in a future release.

Please encourage your volunteers and leaders to become familiar with these new added features in MyScouting Tools. To access MyScouting Tools, log into www.myscouting.org and click on the link embedded on the Flash page. To view support material on the new features, please click the links below:
