If you have a scout earning advancement that is not listed on your roster in ScoutNet. That scout needs to be registered. Please turn in an application for the scout and a separate advancement form that lists his advancement(s).
Changes and updates are not officially recorded until the paperwork is submitted to the Council Office. It is still required that advancement reports are turned into the council office or the Scout Shop
