This weekend we removed access from the existing OSM waiting lists, and transferred access to the new Waiting List 2022 OSM list.

We also granted access to the new Waiting List Registration & Management system, those of you with MKScouts addresses should have had emails confirming access had been granted.

I recorded a presentation going through the why's and wherefore's earlier this year.

Waiting List Transformation Overview

Upshot is that broadly speaking it was broken at many junctures and based on the feedback received, and the understood roadmap of Online Scout Manager, nothing was going to be fixed by OSM, so we looked at alternatives.

We written a number of walk through articles in our knowledge base:

Waiting List 2022 : Milton Keynes Scouts Support & Contact Centre (mkscouts.org)

We've also held a number of online demonstrations, of which we've recorded this one with the latest version of the new system:
