Merit Badge Counselor List Launched with Proximity & Availability Search

Now Scoutmasters can quickly find registered counselors to recommend to their Scouts with our new Merit Badge Counselor List feature. Search by merit badge, proximity and availability. Get real-time results from the entire council!

A Counselor List Like No Other...

If you've ever been a Scoutmaster you know what it's like to rely on old, outdated counselor lists. Half of the people on the list have either moved away or haven't been contacted for years. They may be on an extended vacation or recovering from a major surgery.  

Scoutbook has solved these issues and built what we believe is the ultimate merit badge counselor list.

Real Time Updates

Because Scoutbook is in the cloud, you always have real time information. If a counselor is already working with five Scouts and cannot take any more he can easily get on his smartphone and change his status to Busy.

Scoutmasters can easily see which counselors to recommend by seeing each counselor's current status and how many Scouts they are already working with. This allows leaders to recommend counselors that are seldom utilized. The goal is to keep everyone involved in Scouting including the counselors!

Search by Merit Badge, Proximity and Availability

Do you have Scouts that want to earn the Scuba Diving merit badge but no one in your small city is a registered counselor? Just get on Scoutbook and we'll tell you how far away the nearest Scuba Diving counselor is to your location.

100% Secure and Protected

Did you know only unit leaders have access to this feature? Scouts, parents and other users do not have access.

This keeps counselor contact information safe and allows the unit leader to make sure the counselor is registered and approved before making a recommendation to the Scout.

We hope you enjoy using our new counselor list. Thanks to all those that suggested that we build it!
