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:
- Log in to MyBSF.
- From the menu under the member’s name, select Edit Profile.
- Select Children Information and then click Add a Child.
- 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)
- Click Save.
- Select the child’s name to open the study year information.
- Select Sign Permission for the study the child will attend and complete the form.
- 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:
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.
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.
