General Advancement
Procedures
- The boy learns and demonstrates the skill. It
is then signed off and dated.
- After ALL requirements for that rank have been
completed; the scout must get an ASM to completely test each of the skills to
make sure he knows them completely. Each rank is tested as well as the
previous rank.
- The ASM then signs off in the book with the
date
- The scout goes to Mr Hanks for a Scout Master
Conference. Mr Hanks is responsible for determining if the scout has scout
spirit and will sign that portion of the book.
- Once Scout Master Conference is completed, the
book is given to advancement to record and print the paperwork for the board
of review.
- A board of review is then scheduled for the
next regular meeting

adults and not more than 6 adults.

and Promise, the Outdoor code, scout sign, scout salute, scout handshake,
