Troop 1131 - Dearborn, MI

The Boy Scout requirements for rank are the basis for a Boy Scout's advancement. There are four steps in the Boy Scout advancement procedure: learning, testing, reviewing, and recognition.

Boy Scouting has the following ranks: Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life, and Eagle. The requirements for each rank are authorized by the National Executive Board and set forth in the Boy Scout Handbook, and the current Boy Scout Requirements book.

Merit Badges

Prior to achieving the rank of Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life, and Eagle, each boy must successfully complete a board of review". The board of review is generally scheduled separately from a troop meeting, and is conducted by three or more troop committee members. The board of review for Eagle is conducted by an advancement committee for the council. Scoutmasters or Assistant Scoutmaters do not sit on the board of review. However, he will discuss the qualifications of the candidates with the board of review members prior to the review.

The purpose of the board of review is to be certain that all the requirements for that rank have been met. This includes "spot checking" the Scout's technical skills, and examining the Scout's attitude and his practice of the ideals of Scouting. Scouts are reviewed individually, are encouraged to wear their complete uniform, and must bring their scout handbook and other advancement information.

Boards of Review are scheduled on a as need basis to assist a scout in advancing rank . Normally, the second Monday of each month, we have enough committee members present, to conduct Boards of review. Prior to each Board of Review the Scoutmaster will make every effort hold a Scout Master Conference with the scout. If the scout is advancing rank then the Scoutmaster Conference is required.
