    My son’s membership ID was accidentally thrown by his mother. When we talked with the club advisor in their school (BSP club) he said that they cannot provide another ID but we can check out the ID number in the BSP site. Is this true?

      you cannot check on the website the id no of your son but you can check the id no. on the Application for Unit Registration (AUR) at the Local Council were you registered.

    i agree with jed, kase aking papa ay isa.

    • Does your father still active in Scouting up to now?
      Does he live on the same address when he passed his eagle Scout rank?

      These are 2 questions that most of the Eagle Scouts can not answer us.
      After graduated from High School most of our Eagle Scout concentrated and focused on their study in college. This are the reason that we can not update the record of our eagle scout list.

      We have the eagle Scout Association of the Philippines. This is the reason that they formed the group to have a contact to all active and who wants to be active eagle Scout. Please search it to the yahoo group.

      Thanks

    Will you post a tab that shows the lists of all the eagle scouts in the Philippines, the official councils and registered units with their respective institutions and officials. Thank you.

    • Dear Jed,

      Thank you for your suggestion.

      However, the BSP registration valid only for one year. Imagine we have millions of Scouts and Scout Leaders in the country baka hindi pa natatapos mag enter ng data for the present year other members registration already been expired, so it is not practical to include here the list registered units and their member in this website. Definitely we will waste our time.

      We ca not also tell to our 111 local councils to computerized their registration because of the validity of the membership and most of our local council offices don’t have computer like Batanes, Tawi-Tawi, Mountain Province and other local councils located in remote area.

      Not all eagle Scouts are registered in the BSP. Most of our eagle Scout in college did not continue their Scouting. They focused more on their college life. We have the Eagle Scout Association of the Philippines which Mr. Saloy Salumbides was a former president. They have a yahoo group, please search for it.

      Thanks
