Driver’s Pledge • I will make trip preparations far enough in advance so that last-minute preparations don’t interfere with my rest. • I will make travel plans that take into account my personal biological clock and will drive only during the part of the day when I know I will be alert. • I will be smart about engaging in physical activities during Scouting outings and will make sure that I will be ready to drive alert. • I will not drive when I feel fatigued. I realize that when I am fatigued, I process information more slowly and less accurately, and this impairs my ability to react in time to avoid accidents. • I will arrange my schedule so that for several days before a Boy Scout driving trip, I will get a good night’s sleep every night to avoid the cumulative effects of not getting enough sleep. Do all you can to keep Scouts safe.
Outdoors: A Patrol Activity • Winter climate • Arid climate • Rugged terrain • Urban setting
Start, stop, continue (SSC) is a form of careful listening and sharing that allows Scouts and leaders to assess an experience and get from it the greatest value it has to offer.
The Four Steps to Advancement • A Scout learns. • A Scout is tested. • A Scout is reviewed. • A Scout is recognized.
The Board of Review • Not a retest, but a discussion • Atmosphere of trust and support • Encouragement and praise
A Scout Is Recognized • Immediately by the Scoutmaster • Publicly in a court of honor
Strengths of the Advancement Program • It’s fun. • It offers adventure. • It allows Scouts to measure their progress. • It provides recognition. • It promotes development of mental and physical fitness, character, and citizenship. • But it’s just one of the eight methodsof Scouting!
