Rank Advancement

The following procedures will be followed for all Scoutmaster Conferences and Boards of Review.  All Scouts should bring their handbooks to each troop meeting and camp out.
It is the Scouts responsibility to approach a Scoutmaster to have them sign in their books, when they feel they have met a rank requirement.  If the Scoutmaster feels that the Scout has earned the requirement, they will then initial and date the book.  Once a Scout has met all the requirements for the rank they are currently working on, books should be given to the Advancement Chairman.
When the Advancement Chairman has determined that the Scout has met all the requirements, the Scout may then sign up for a Scoutmaster Conference.  
After the Scout passes the Scoutmaster Conference, they may sign up for a Board of Review.
The Advancement Chairman will arrange to have Three (3) of the Troop Committee available to perform the Board of Review.  It is the responsibility of all Scouts to see the Advancement Chairman to sign up for the Scoutmaster Conference and Boards of Review.
It is the responsibility of the Scoutmasters to see the Advancement Chairman before they do a Scoutmaster Conference.
The rank of Scout does not require that the Scout go through a Board of Review.  The Scout may approach any Scoutmaster when they feel they are ready for their Scoutmaster Conference for the rank of Scout.
Once the Scoutmaster has signed off on this rank, the Advancement Chairman needs to see the Scouts handbook.
Scoutmaster Conferences and Boards of Review will be done at the weekly Troop meetings.  It may be necessary to perform these at weekend camp outs or at some other time that can be scheduled.
Please make sure that this is coordinated with the Advancement Chairman.
If a Scout has signed up for a Scoutmaster Conference or Board of Review and is not available than the next Scout on the list will have his preformed.  The Scout will remain at the top of the list for the next meeting.
