Board of Review Procedure
Scouts are required to obtain
verification of completed rank requirements per the
Troop records from the Troop Advancement Chairman prior
to scheduling the "ScoutMaster" conference. After successfully completing
a "ScoutMasters" conference, it is the Scouts
responsibility to set up a date for a "Board of Review"
with the Troop Advancement Chairman.
For the "Board of Review" the
Scout must be in full uniform(badge sash is not
required). Sandals or worn out pants are
unacceptable for the "Board of Review".
Bring your Scout Book signed by the ScoutMaster and any
other Counselors that approved your work.
