ADVANCEMENT and RECOGNITION

Advancement and Recognition chair: Ken Black


Advancement Principles
Personal growth is the prime consideration in the advancement program.
Learning by doing.
Each youth progresses at his or her own rate.
A badge us recognition if what a young person is able to do, not merely a reward for what he or she has done.
Advancement encourages Scouting ideals.

 

Cub Scouting
The Cub Scout program in the den and pack is the basis for Cub Scout advancement. The steps in Tiger Cub, Cub Scout, and Webelos Scout advancement procedures are preparation, qualification, and recognition.
Cub Scouting has the following ranks: Bobcat, Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear, Webelos , and Arrow of Light.

Boy Scouting
The Boy Scout requirements for rank are the basis for a Boy Scout's advancement. There are four steps in the Boy Scout advancement procedure: learning, testing, reviewing, and recognition.
Boy Scouting has the following ranks: Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life and Eagle.

Varsity Scouting
The Varsity requirements for rank advancement are the same as for Boy Scouts. However, the advancement program is supervised by a youth member called an advancement program manager, who is assisted by an adult on the team committee.

Venturing
A male Venturer who has achieved the First Class rank as Boy Scout in a troop or as a Varsity Scout in a team may continue working toward the Eagle Scout rank as a Venturer until his 18th birthday. There is no alternate Venturing advancement route to qualify for the Eagle Scout rank. The Venturing Bronze, Gold, Silver, Ranger, and Quartermaster awards may be earned by all Venturers who meet certain requirements.
