Advancement
We ask that you go over your scout’s
individual history on a regular basis and continue urging him to
make progress. The younger scouts can come prepared
to any meeting ready to check off on their tenderfoot, second class,
or first class requirements. We have several older scouts and
adults in attendance that can accommodate them. Participation in
troop outings can help as advancement opportunities are built into
these events. Some activities the troop has planned do have a rank
requirement and working on advancement continuously will help ensure
the scout’s ability to participate. The key point is that the scout
must want to advance. We provide the opportunities for advancement;
the scout must take the initiative.
A Scout should receive recognition for his achievements.
