# Updating your scout profile
When you first apply to a mission or begin a mission that requires a completed profile, you’ll be prompted to first fill out your profile. The following fields are mandatory: profile picture, first name, last name, birthday, email, phone number, location, and ethnicity (U.S. scouts only).
We understand that identity isn't static, so you'll have the ability to self-identify your gender, provide your pronouns (including a "tap to type" option if you don't see yours included), and select multiple ethnicities (if applicable). You'll also have the option to edit these fields whenever you'd like.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://participanthelp.dscout.com/account-settings/account-setup/updating-your-scout-profile.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
