The New MyScouting Mobile App Has Arrived!

BSA’s information delivery group along with many volunteer beta testers are excited to present the new myScouting mobile app, complete with a fresh look and added features. Better yet, you can check it out for yourself today—the app is now officially available for download on iPhone (iOS 9.0 or greater) and Android (4.4 or greater) devices!

With the new app features, you can:

• Access training resources and take courses (including Youth Protection Training)
• Track training completions
• Download or email completed training certificates
• Communicate with members within your organization level and below (for Key 3s and designated access)
• Manage your profile, announcements, and calendar events for your organization
• Access multiple Commissioner Tools:

• • Commissioner and unit assignments
  • Enter and complete contacts for Simple Assessments
  • Create and manage Roundtables

The focus of Commissioner Tools is primarily for unit commissioners to make it easier to access their assigned units.  This has the added benefits of increased speed, efficiency and agility of the app.  Consequently, commissioners are limited to the units they are assigned.  The incentive is to ensure one or more commissioners are assigned to every unit.

The new app also supports both English and Spanish, has a night-mode feature, and allows you to turn tutorials on or off. Completed contacts and Roundtable entries will be synchronized between the web and mobile platforms.

Coming soon:

More features will be added soon through an automatic release upgrade that will be available by the end of 2017, including:

• The ability to delete or enter future assessments and Roundtables
• Additional Commissioner Tools—detailed assessments, unit service plans, and reports

In the meantime, you can still access these functions via the full application on web at my.scouting.org.
