Scoutbook is an advancement tracking tool with a variety of different tools such as messaging, forums, service, hiking, camping tracking, and calendar features.

We've all come across challenges when using this tool. For my Woodbadge ticket, I would like to hold a zoom instructional course on using Scoutbook. I also want to tackle any questions or issues that you've come across.
