Wood Badge and other learning

A sync brings in Growing Roots — the compulsory learning everyone has to do — because that is all the membership system publishes. Wood Badge skills and Branching Out modules live in My Learning, a separate system, and have to be imported from there.

On the Sync page, click Import from My Learning. Sign in at learn.scouts.org.uk first, in the same browser — the extension reads your own session there, just as it does for the membership portal. You can also run it from the extension's own popup with Import learning.

This is a separate run from your membership sync, on purpose: being signed out of My Learning can never disturb the sync you actually depend on.

This only covers people you manage for learning in My Learning, which is usually far fewer than your synced hierarchy — so expect a handful of people rather than everyone.

My Learning identifies people by membership number and the membership system doesn't share it, so the first import asks you to confirm who each person is. It suggests a match by name; you confirm it once and every later import is automatic. Anyone who isn't in your synced hierarchy is kept and listed rather than dropped — that is normal for someone in your learning team but not your section.

Additional learning is shown per leader without a red/amber/green badge, unlike the compulsory list. Growing Roots and DBS are things a volunteer must hold; Branching Out is optional, and an unfinished optional module isn't a compliance problem.
