With Internet Advancement, units select an advancement processor who is granted access with a council-provided unit ID. Because of documentation requirements, the Eagle Scout rank, and nominated recognitions such as meritorious action awards, are not entered electronically. Internet Advancement is accessed through Introduction to Internet Advancement (IA) – Scoutbook Knowledge Base (scouting.org) or from my.scouting.org 
. When first-time unit processors enter, they are greeted by a welcome page with instructions and invited to log in and accept a confidentiality agreement. Once they have provided some registration information, they move to an overview page with additional instructions. Returning users skip these steps and go directly to selecting members for advancement.
In Internet Advancement, units may choose to use the ScoutBook App or to enter information manually. Click here for the Guide to Advancement. Learn More
Scoutbook
Scoutbook is the BSA’s online unit management tool and helps Scouts, parents and leaders track advancement and milestone achievements along the Scouting trail.
Some Advantages to Scoutbook:
1. You will have up to the minute visibility of your Scout’s official BSA advancement record. You can view whenever you want. And the unit can make adjustments as necessary without contacting council.
2. It automatically keeps the unit in compliance with BSA advancement reporting requirements.
3. When a Scout moves, their advancement record follows them.
As of January 1, 2019, Scoutbook subscriptions are free to all scouting units.
