Internet Advancement and Scoutbook are both tools to add advancement information into the same Scoutbook Database. The Scoutbook Database is integrated with the other BSA databases so the advancements flow between them.
The difference between Scoutbook and Internet Advancement has to do with features of the application.
NOTE: If you are using Scoutbook for your unit’s advancement, you do not need to use Internet Advancement for advancement. Since Internet Advancement uses different reporting and marks approved items as awarded, Scoutbook users should not use Internet Advancement for advancement. Where appropriate, when you click on some items in Scoutbook, you will be directed to Internet Advancement pages. So you can just keep on logging into Scoutbook to manage your unit.
