Important Update from the National Council regarding membership forms:
New registration applications no longer have duplicate copies included. This was a conscious decision based on a units’ access to member information through BSA’s online systems. Units have access to both youth and adult leader information through both my.Scouting and Scoutbook, which is now free for every unit.
Both of these systems update overnight after the registration is posted by the council through ScoutNET, or immediately after an online application is approved by the unit. Additionally, privacy of personal information is a constant growing concern today and removing these additional copies helps to keep individuals personal information from being non-securely passed around or disposed of by volunteers.
