What is the recommended way to manage Young Leader details within a Section?
Last Updated 2 years ago
Young Leaders are most commonly in one of two situations:
They only help in a Section
or
They are also an Explorer in an Explorer Unit
To keep consistency of data between section and ensure updates filter through to all. if a YL already exist in Explorers, then ask the Unit to copy their details to the Section or vice versa.
The must also be registered with the YL Unit, by copying their information by following this article.
No matter what the situation of the YL above. The easiest way to manage a YL in a Section is place them in to a "Young Leaders", "Lodge / Six / Patrol". However avoid using the Lodge / Six / Patrol already configured in OSM, see below.
Due to a quirk in OSM, if you place a Young Leader in the "Young Leaders", "Lodge / Six /Patrol" that is already configured by default in OSM, you cannot see their training or badge progress.
To avoid this limitation, create your own section "Young Leader", "Lodge / Six / Patrol" and add the Young Leaders to that.
