📢 Unit Leaders: Please take a few minutes to review and update your BeAScout Unit Pin information.

BeAScout recently launched an updated experience for prospective families, including new details such as meeting schedules, unit fees, fundraising information, and more. Keeping your Unit Pin up to date helps families find accurate information and connect with your unit.

✅ Log in to Organization Manager and review your Unit Pin settings today!

Remind Unit Leaders To Update BeAScout

On August 3, BeAScout introduced an updated look and feel designed to better support prospective families. The enhanced experience provides answers to common questions before families contact a unit, including estimated cost to join, unit meeting days and times, and whether the unit charges additional dues.

To support these improvements, several new fields have been added to the Unit Pin page in Organization Manager: Fundraising Helps Cover Costs, Trial Visit Encouraged, and Unit Fee. Meeting Schedule, Meeting Frequency, Meeting Day, Start Time, End Time.

Unit leaders can update these fields within their Unit Pin settings.

Please share this information with your unit leaders and encourage them to complete these updates to ensure their unit details are accurate and fully displayed in the updated BeAScout experience.
