Organizational Hierarchy

ScoutPass uses LearnCard's parent-child Boost relationships to create a hierarchical structure:

How It Works

1. NSO creates root Boosts — The National Scouting Organization creates BoostID templates and badge templates at the top level

2. Troops are child Boosts — Each troop is created as a child of the NSO, inheriting badge templates

3. Scouts receive credentials — Troop leaders issue membership IDs and badges to individual scouts

User Roles & Permissions

Permissions flow down through the hierarchy using LearnCard's permission model:

Role	Scope	Permissions
NSO Admin	Organization-wide	Create badge templates, manage troops, canCreateChildren, canManageChildrenPermissions
Troop Leader	Troop-level	Issue badges to scouts, manage troop roster, canIssue, canIssueChildren
Scout	Individual	View and share earned badges and membership ID
