Wow! This ain't the way I remember earning advancements in Boy Scouts! Back then, when you got your requirements signed off in your handbook, the scoutmaster let you know you were done and during closing, with everybody in formation, you got called forward and the scoutmaster pinned the new award on your shirt. Except Eagle - that was done with a court of honor...

When a boy fullfills his requirements before a Leader each advancement
point directs him forward to the last requirement of a "Scoutmaster
conference" then he is presented to a "Board of review" made up of
3 to 6 parents who agree to scouting princeipals and are registered with
the troop.

The boys handbook is his record.. *But also a advancement record is kept
in a big Tally book tied to "Toopmaster software"

This records not only progress but attendence and participation at
events and service hours to the community.

Haveing fullfilled requirements very simular to Royal Rangers-
a Tenderfoot in uniform stands and give his best with a slaute
and recitaion of the scout oath and law. *He then sits and a
conversation begins led by a TRAINED councilor.

He may be asked to share his greatest joy or his largest effort
to reach the rank advancement he is applying for. He speeks about
his outside involvement in church and school and the family.

He can be asked for insight into his patrol and the leadership
he has experianced..

*Then he is dismissed.. and the Board talks privetly-
On a positive decision by the board he is called back and congradulated.

He has ADVANCED!

*How do you guys do it?
