I need to update community service hours. Can I do that in one location for multiple scouts?
What type of unit are you from? For BSA it would need to be an event and the users that attended can be recorded how many hours they worked for that event.
It’s a Girl Scout troop. I wanted to delegate the service ours already recorded. The girls earn a new service bar for each level in Girl Scouts.

I did some searching in the community and the only way to add service hours in bulk is via a calendar event, you could create a service event, invite the girls that did the hours, then use the Attendance recording to add the service hours to each of the girls.
Ok. So I can’t delete hours already entered?

For an individual scout you can go into their profile, select the Participation tab, find the event that the service hours were attached to and edit that event to remove or change the service hours. To do it in bulk you would need to go back to the event the hours were added from and change or delete it for everyone then apply the change to the event attendance. This is the only way I know how to do this and from my research the only way it works for other unit types as well, specifically American Heritage Girls, which heavily use service hours. Is there a different way that service hours are added individually for Girl Scout units? I am not familiar with the differences in TT from BSA to Girl Scouts, I have learned some about AHG through the Community but am not that familiar with them either.
There are two types of community service higher award bars starting at the Cadette level. Senior level and Ambassador level also have the opportunity to earn bars for their level, too. There is the Community Service bar and the Service to Girl Scout bar. Each bars asks for 20 hours of service.
As far as I see the service hours in Troop track are cumulative and don’t reset once the girls bridge up. And I don’t see a way of keeping the Service to Girl Scout hours as a separate line item from the regular Community Service hours either.

That is correct, service house are cumulative and don’t reset at levels. Since that is something that would make TT work better for you please change this thread to an Idea or create a new thread as an Idea and lay out what enhancements you would like to see or how you would envision that working. If others agree and there is good community support it can be looked at by the TT development team as a potential enhancement to TT. Since this is very specific to Girl Scout and I believe AHG units, it might make more sense to have service hours as part of award bars and levels and those could feed into the overall service hours but would then allow for tracking hours for individual awards at whatever levels.
