District Communications

• Units:  Contact information for units is available at the BSA Be A Scout “Scout me in” site.  Deadline for Herms District units to update their Be A Scout map pin information was 1 August 2020.
• Scouting BSA Merit Badge Counselors (MBC): All Merit badge counselors (MBC) and approved badges are automatically uploaded to Scoutbook from the BSA registration database in ScoutNET via the daily membership upload process (MU.)  Unit leaders (such as Scoutmasters) may obtain MBC contact information via Scoutbook. Due to the council merger and Covid-19, MBC registration was renewed in May 2020 without annual MBC information being reviewed.  MBCs with expired youth protection training (Y01) are not displayed at Scoutbook.
• District: For security reasons per order of Ed Gray on 6 Aug 2020 district contact information has been removed from or not added to the district websites. Bill Wells is investigating using contact forms. Most communications with units is via telephone, email, and Zoom virtual meetings.
