Leader Management of Scout Accounts

This article helps Unit Leaders manage common Scout account issues, including duplicate accounts and Scouts missing from the roster.

Updated this week

What to Do If a Scout Has Multiple Accounts

Why this matters

Each Scout should have only one account. If a Scout has multiple accounts, their sales may be split across accounts, which can result in:

  • Incorrect reward levels

  • Lost or reduced rewards

  • Inaccurate sales tracking


What to do

If you discover a Scout has multiple accounts:

  1. Contact [email protected] as soon as possible.

  2. Include the Scout’s usernames (if known) and indicate which username should be kept.

⚠️ Important: In some situations, accounts cannot be merged later in the season. The earlier this is reported, the better.


Tips to prevent duplicate accounts

  • Remind Scouts to reuse their existing username from previous years.

  • Share usernames with families when needed (leaders can view usernames in Unit Info → Scout Roster).

  • Communicate clearly:

    • ✅ One account per Scout

    • ❌ No multiple accounts per Scout

💡 Note: Multiple contacts can be added for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) so parents or guardians can help Scouts log in and record sales. See: Adding Additional Contacts for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)


A Scout Has an Account but Is Missing from the Scout Roster

If a Scout has registered but does not appear in your unit roster, the most common cause is that the Scout selected the wrong unit type (pack, troop, crew) or unit number.

What to do

  1. Ask the Scout or parent to verify the unit on their account.

  2. If needed, have them update their unit information.

If the issue is not resolved

If the Scout still does not appear in your roster, contact [email protected] and include:

  • Scout’s username (if known)

  • Council, district, and unit
