Install the browser extension
Leader Compliance can't read the UK Scouts membership system directly — nobody offers an API for that. Instead, this small browser extension reads it from inside your own signed-in session while you're on membership.scouts.org.uk, then sends what it finds here. It never sees or stores your Scouts password.
Chrome or a Chromium-based browser (Edge, Brave, etc.) required — won't work in Safari or Firefox.
Setup
- 1
Click Add to Chrome above and confirm the install on the Store page.
- 2
It should appear as "Leader Compliance Sync" in your toolbar. Pin it (puzzle-piece icon → pin) so it's easy to reach.
- 3
Sign in at membership.scouts.org.uk with your own Scouts account, then come back here and generate a sync key — or use its own "Sync now" button once you're signed in to Leader Compliance too.
