| MINUTES | RANK Advancements |
| CALENDAR | A number of specific skills are required to advance through the Boy Scout ranks;Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life, and Eagle. To advance, a Boy Scout must pass specific tests; which are organized by requirements and merit badges. Advancement requirements for each rank are outlined in the Boy Scout Handbook. It is important for each boy to have his own Boy Scout Handbook. He should bring it to all meetings and campouts so he can have requirements signed off as he completes them. Take time to review the requirements for each rank, so each scout knows what he must do to advance to the next level.
All skill work may be signed off by a scout of the rank of Star Class or higher. Family members are not to sign off younger family members, i.e., father/son, brother/brother. All merit badge work must be signed off by an adult who is a registered leader of the troop. Any exceptions to this must be cleared in advance with the Scoutmaster. It is the scout's responsibility to get the items signed off in the six-month timeframe from when he begins the specific badge work or it must be redone. The scout also has the responsibility to see that his records are correct with the Scoutmaster and Advancement Chairman. We use the blue card system for completing merit badges. The scout should submit approved blue cards to the Advancement Chairman, Lisa Wilder.
