Adding a Child to a Parent/Legal Guardian’s MyBSF Account

If a parent or legal guardian wants to add a child to their MyBSF account, they can follow the steps below. Note: Adding a child to the account does not automatically register the child for a class. The parent/legal guardian must notify the class staff for the child to be added.

Steps to Add a Child:

  1. Log in to MyBSF.
  2. From the menu under the member’s name, select Edit Profile.
  3. Select Children Information and then click Add a Child.
  4. Enter the following details for the child:
    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • Birth Year
    • Birth Month
    • Gender
    • City
    • Province/State
    • Current Country of Residency
    • Special Accommodations (optional)
    • Placement Comments (optional)
  5. Click Save.
  6. Select the child’s name to open the study year information.
  7. Select Sign Permission for the study the child will attend and complete the form.
  8. Notify class staff or an Adult Leader (AL) that the child has been added to the parent’s profile. This can be done either through Find a Group or through personal communication. This is necessary for the child to be officially added to the class.

Requirements for Child Registration in a Class

To successfully register a child in a class, the following conditions must be met:

  1. The child must have a profile attached to the parent/legal guardian’s account in MyBSF, and the child must be assigned to a study and meeting in the class.

  2. A Parental Permission Form must be completed for the New Study Year (NSY). Until this form is completed, the child will remain in a Pending status on the Registration/Children Only page.

    • The Parental Permission Form can be filled out by the parent/legal guardian directly on MyBSF.
    • Alternatively, Class Staff, ALs, or ACSs can enter the form after the parent completes the paper Child Registration (I 104) or uses Foxit eSign.
