What are Rank Advancements?

In Boy Scouts there are seven "Ranks" that indicate where your son stands in Scouting. They are, in order, Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star Scout, Life Scout and the pinnacle of Scouting Eagle Scout. As your son completes the rank requirements he will get them signed-off by the Scout Master, an Assistant Scout Master or one of our Eagle Scouts. When he has finished all of the requirements for a rank, your son will request a Scout Master Conference from the Scout Master.

The Scout Master will either do this himself or assign one of the Assistant Scout Masters to do this. After completing the Scout Master Conference, your son will request a Board of Review from the Troop Advancement Chair. Upon completion of the Board of Review, your son will have earned that "Rank" and will be presented with the appropriate Badge as soon as possible.
