Leader Management of Scout Accounts: Multiple Accounts

This article helps Unit Leaders manage what to do if you have Scouts with duplicate accounts.

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. Start a chat with our team 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)
