Packmaster: Webelos Activity Badges not Uploading to Scoutnet?

We worked to upload our advancement from PackMaster to ScoutNet this AM and
were unsuccessful in all of our attempts.  We followed the directions and
could not figure out why the Webelos Activity Badges were not being
accepted.  We stumbled upon this in the FAQ:

 

From Troopmaster FAQ's

Note for PackMaster Users: At this time, the Internet Advancement Interface
can only import rank data from your transfer file. They are currently
working on this system to add support for your Activity Badges and other
awards but they are not currently being imported through this interface. At
this time, we are unable to get an estimated date from them as to when the
import interface will be expanded to include these additional awards.

I guess this issue is with ScoutNet.  Is it still an issue?  How does
everyone else work around this?

We have to go online to the Internet Advancement and enter them manually.

Apparently it is still an issue, if you said you just tried to upload a report again this morning and it didn't take the Activity Badges. That's a good indicator that the issue hasn't been resolved between PM, TM or ScoutNet since the last updates.

I do notice that PM does not get as many updates as TM does. It of course covers a lot more data spread out amongst more youth, and each Rank is broken down into more details with immediate recognition tracking, etc.

It would appear that it's a lot bigger animal to tackle than TM, and I would expect more updates for PM than TM, but that's not the case.

I know entering the data directly through your MyScouting Internet Advancement access is tedeous and time consuming, but it's full proof whereas expecting someone at Council to enter it directly from Advancement Reports isn't always.
