You are presented a calendar with several events on it.

You can select the filter at the top of the calendar and select the calendars you are interested in seeing.  In this example, I want to see all Pack events and AoL events.

Scroll to the bottom of the calendar page, you will find a list of calendars you can subscribe to.

It is recommended that you subscribe to the Pack 838 calendar to get all of the pack events (camping, pack meetings, volunteer events).

It is also recommended to subscribe to the calendar specific to your den to get alerted for den events (den meetings, etc).

To subscribe, click on the icon next to the calendar to copy the link.

This example will show how to add the calendar to your Google calendar.  Other calendars have similar options that you can use.

When you log into your Google calendar, you will see Other calendars at the bottom left.  Click on the plus sign.

Select From URL

Paste the URL that was copied from Scoutbook Plus and click "Add calendar" button.

Navigate back to your calendar, you will see the newly added calendar appear in your list.  You will also see events now show up in your Google Calendar.

Click on the blue plus icon in the upper left

The first thing to set will be which calendar to add the event to.  It may default to the Pack calendar (Pack 838 Family).  If you wish it to be a den only event, you must remove Pack 838 Family and select the dens you wish to invite.

In our example, we are creating a Den Meeting for the Wolf and Bear Dens

Fill in appropriate information about the event

Add a description to the event so families know what is going to happen.  Optionally add notes for just leaders to see.

Optionally, you can make the event a recurring event.  In this example, the event was set up to recur for the first Wednesday of every month.

You can optionally request Permission Slips and RSVPs to your event.

You should also specify an event location.  The URL can be a Google map link.

The Thunder Hill URL is: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Dv7ALwW8gUffdW2QA

You can optionally set event reminders.  You may set up to 3 event reminders.

In this example, we set an event reminder for 2 days before the event.

Once all the information is entered, you can go to the right hand side of the page and create the event.  You can expand sections to verify the scouts and families you want to attend are getting invited.  Once everything is in order, click the Create Event button.

There is a bug where sometimes blank scouts will get added under the Youths section.  If you see more Youths than you expect, simply expand the section and delete the blank entries by clicking on the dots to the right of each one and selecting Remove.

You should get a success message.  You can now navigate back to the calendar and see your event on it.

Click Unit Quick Entry and then Enter Adventures from the menu at the top of the roster.

Fill in the Rank (Den), Adventure and Version (all adventures this point forward should be 2024 version).  Hit Apply.

Select the scouts earning the adventure from the list of eligible scouts.

Select which requirements were completed.  You may select all or a partial list if you want to keep track of partial work done.

Enter the date and check the box "Mark as Approved"* and hit Apply

* If you cannot check the Mark as Approved box, go ahead and hit Apply.  Then ask a Pack leader to approve the adventures.

Confirm on the next screen all of the scouts and all of the requirements are correctly entered.  Then hit Submit.

If they are approved (by you or another pack leader) they will show up in the advancement report.  The Advancement Chair will use this report to buy pins/belt loops/etc from the scout store prior to each pack meeting.
