10 Tips to be a Responsible Leader
Advancement
Advancement

When you think you are ready to call for a Scoutmaster Conference and Board of Review, be sure you're ready to
demonstrate your skills, commitment, pride, service, and leadership.  

Skills - A boy must demonstrate that he has acquired the required skills or collection of merit badges for a rank
advancement. His scout book must be signed off and MB cards signed.

Commitment - A boy must demonstrate his commitment to scouting by regularly attending troop meetings and troop
activities as an active scout participant.  He must proudly wear his uniform correctly. He must also meet the specific activity
requirements listed for each rank by participating and keeping appropriate records of his participation in troop activities.

Scout Pride - A boy must demonstrate his respect and pride for scouting by correctly and consistently wearing the Class
A uniform during meetings and especially during a board of review.  He must live up to the scout law and oath.

Service - A boy must meet the service requirements for each rank by demonstrating through detailed written records of
the service activities and time he has participated in.

Leadership - A boy must meet the time requirement in a leadership position in addition to demonstrating the effectiveness
of his efforts while in that position.

IMPORTANT: At least a week before your scoutmaster conference, be sure to have reviewed all of your accomplishments
with the SPL, ASPL, or one of the Scoutmasters to be sure you are ready.  Getting turned down for advancement when
you think you are ready is no fun, so be sure you are really ready.
