BSA System Downtime

From the BSA National Office

In an effort to keep you informed and to allow you to schedule work and resources accordingly we have attached a tentative schedule of system maintenance hours for the first half of 2012. On most weekends during the months of January through March 2012, beginning on Friday at 9:00 PM CST, through Saturday at 5:00 AM, CST, systems availability will be impacted.

During these system interruptions the National office will be facilitating multi council mergers, consolidations and the creation of a new council structure in the state of Michigan.

If you are a council employee, you will have no access to PAS and Fiscals applications during these hours.  Some data in MyBSA may not be updated during this period; however your ability to use email should not be impacted.

If you are a BSA volunteer using MyScouting you will be unable to upload membership information to begin processing Internet Advancement and Internet Rechartering. Volunteers may continue online by loading the unit information prior to 9:00 PM, CST, on Friday. Submittals may still occur if the membership information was uploaded.

Thank you for your support and cooperation as we continue to support our mission to ensure that all councils are highly effective in support of their units.

Below is the current tentative schedule.

January 20 - 21 January 27 - 28

February 10 - 11 February 17 - 18 February 24 - 25

March 16 - 17 March 23 - 24
