  4. CUB SCOUTS vs. BOY SCOUTS

  5. ADVANCEMENT Scout Tenderfoot 2nd Class 1st Class Star Life Eagle • Currently, there are Six Boy Scout Ranks, culminating with Eagle Scout. • Boys complete “Joining Requirements” and earn the “Scout” badge (similar to a Cub Scout Bobcat). AOL recipients have already completed most of the Joining Requirements. • For the first three ranks (Tenderfoot, 2nd Class, &1st Class) beginner scouts learn skills for outdoors, self-sufficiency, and citizenship. These requirements can be fulfilled concurrently. • For the last three ranks (Star, Life and Eagle) scouts earn merit badges, perform service projects, and serve in leadership roles. • As scouts advance, they shift from ‘learner’ to ‘leader’ and are expected to teach new scouts. • In addition to Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster, we allow First Class, Star, Life or Eagle scouts to sign-off any Tenderfoot, Second Class or First Class requirements. We encourage scouts to go to higher ranking scouts for sign-off. This helps build relationships with the scout leadership.

  6. SCOUT HANDBOOK • The Scout Handbook is: your guide to individual advancement • Scouts receive one handbook: bring it everywhere but above all… protect it! • Each requirement has a corresponding page number where a scout can learn what it takes to complete the requirement. • Service Logs and Camping Logs are in the back of the handbook. • Signatures required. • *See the Troop Website • for more information:

  7. CONFERENCE & REVIEW • After completing rank requirements, the SCOUT must schedule a “Scoutmaster Conference”. • During this 15 to 30 minute meeting (with any ASM), the Scout presents his handbook and demonstrates his knowledge of the rank requirements. • After a successful SM Conference, and the Scoutmaster or ASM has signed his handbook, the SCOUT must request a Board of Review from a Committee Member. • A Board of Review is a meeting between the scout and 3 to 6 Adult Committee Members. • During the BOR, the scout is interviewed about his experience with the troop and his records reviewed. Frequently asked to state: Scout Oath, Law, and Outdoor Code, etc. • The scout may also be asked to present his Blue Cards, Service Logs, & Camping Logs • Upon successful completion of the BOR, the handbook is signed and the scout has officially rank advanced. • SM Conferences and BOR’s are • considered formal events and the • scout is expected to be in FULL • Class A Uniform with their • Handbook and records.

  8. MERIT BADGES • BSA has 135 Merit Badges • Earn MBs any time after earning the “Scout” rank. • 13 specific MBs are required for Eagle: • First Aid, Citizenship in Community, Citizenship in Nation, Citizenship in World, Communication, Cooking, Personal Fitness, Emergency Preparedness/Lifesaving, Environmental Science/Sustainability, Personal Management, Swimming/Hiking/Cycling, Camping, Family Life • 8 MBs from any category are also required for Eagle • Some Eagle Required are necessary for lower ranks • Summer Camp is a great opportunity to earn them • Begin by contacting MB Coordinator, Mr. Eitzel • Fairfax & Loudoun County offer MB Classes quarterly • Visit the website for an Introduction to Merit Badges

  9. BLUE CARDS • It is a 3 part card: • Counselor’s Record (maintained by the instructor) • Applicant’s Record (maintained by the scout) • Unit Record (maintained by the troop) • To earn a Merit Badge, scouts are first issued “Blue Card” by the MB Coordinator (Rich) • Scouts complete the MB requirements for their counselor and present their work. • MB Counselor (MBC) fills out and signs the blue card, keeping one part for their records. • SCOUT presents the card to the Scoutmaster for countersignature. • SCOUT presents the 2 remaining parts of the signed card to Troop Advancement Chair (Gina) • At the next Court of Honor (quarterly awards ceremony), the Scout receives his Merit Badge along with the “Applicant’s Record” portion of the blue card. • SCOUTS MUST MAINTAIN THESE BLUE CARDS FOR THE DURATION OF THEIR SCOUT TENURE. They will be asked to present them at Boards of Review. If they cannot produced them, a new blue card must be re-earned.

  10. SERVICE LOGS • Rank Service hours may only be attributed to the rank you are working toward i.e. you cannot earn hours as a Tenderfoot and attribute them to Star rank. • Service must be PRE-approved by the Scoutmaster. • In Troop 2012, for PRE-approval, the scout must provide the Scoutmaster with a write-up: • Who are you serving • What are you doing • Where are you doing it • When are you doing it • Why are you doing it • How are you providing service and leadership • Scout must obtain signatures from a Service Organization Representative. • Scout should maintain Service Logs like Blue Cards.

  13. CAMPING Troop offers 10 camping trips per year, plus Summer Camp (6-night). Each camping trip is an optional, ‘pay-as-you-go’ opportunity for scouts to fulfill Tenderfoot through First Class requirements and learn the Patrol Method. Camping Duty Roster PATROL METHOD BSA states: “The patrol method allows Scouts to interact in a small group outside the larger troop context, working together as a team and sharing the responsibility of making their patrol a success. A patrol takes pride in its identity, and the members strive to make their patrol the best it can be. ”

  16. PAY-AS-YOU-GO TROOP • Monthly sign-ups go out for scouts to register and pay to attend that month’s outing. Participation is optional. • Adult chaperones do not pay to participate (except for summer camp & some large ticket campouts like white water rafting). • Cost varies depending on the activity & facilities. Cabin camping costs more than tent camping, but less than a battleship campout. • As we grow, fundraising events can offset cost. And financial aid is available.
