The Boy Scout advancement method encourages boys to meet significant challenges that lead to personal growth. Advancing in rank and earning merit badges are a fundamental part of the scouting experience. The Boy Scout plans his advancement and progresses at his own pace as he meets each challenge. The steps in the advancement process help a Boy Scout grow in self-confidence, self-reliance and in the ability to help others.  More information about the requirements for each rank can be obtained by clicking on the name of each rank on the left.
 


Advancement is all about learning. This learning comes from any number of places:
 

  • At troop meetings 
  • On troop outings (skills instruction, outdoors)
  • From other Scouts
  • As an individual ( independent learning)
  • From other adults (merit badge counselors)
  • Outside of Scouting (school, church, athletic teams, etc)
     
     


There are four (4) basic steps in the Boy Scout Advancement program:

 

  1. A Scout learns (through rank advancement and merit badges).

  2. A Scout is tested (by Older Scouts, adult leaders and merit badge counselors).

  3. A Scout is reviewed (in a Scoutmaster conference and a board of review).

  4. A Scout is recognized (at a troop meeting and in a Court of Honor).
