Troop Advancement System Troop 304, Cub Scouts of America The Lovett School Kevin Link - Scoutmaster www.lovett304.com To document our Scouts’ advancement we record 5 types of activities: 1. Participation in Troop outings, especially the number of nights camping with the Troop. This is important for the camping merit badge and for advancement to the ranks of Second Class and First Class. Recording the number of miles hiked per day is important for the hiking merit badge. 2. Participation in Troop service projects, including helping with Eagle Scout projects. The ranks of Second Class, Star, and Life require a certain number of service hours performed since the attainment of the previous rank. 3. Dates of service in Troop leadership positions, required for Star, Life, and Eagle. 4. Dates of completion of merit badge requirements. 5. Dates of completion of individual requirements for rank advancement (these are listed in the Boy Scout Handbook). Our ultimate tool for the accurate recording of all these data is our Troopmaster computer database program, managed each year by one adult leader: the Record Keeper. For outings, service hours, and dates of leadership positions, we strongly urge each Scout to keep a Troop Activity Logbook showing: (1) the dates and locations of each Troop outing he participated in (including the number of nights spent camping, the number of miles hiked per day, and a brief summary of each trip) (2) the dates, nature, and hours of participation in Troop service projects (3) The dates of service in Troop leadership positions. For merit badges, each Scout will keep a copy of the original Application for Merit Badge (“blue card”), or “blue sheet” for badges earned at Boy Scout camp. For rank advancement, each Scout should record his rank in the Boy Scout Handbook. Alternatively, if the Handbook is not available, the Troop leader could initial the most recent copy of the Scout’s database printout (the Individual History Report). The Individual History Report will be printed out and distributed by the Record keeper at least 3 times per year: just after each of the 3 yearly Boards of Review. Each Scout should carefully review his printout after receiving it. If an apparent error is found having to do with merit badges, Troop Guide 41 Be Prepared!
Troop 304, Cub Scouts of America The Lovett School Kevin Link - Scoutmaster www.lovett304.com the Scout should inform the Merit Badge Committee Chairman, usually at a Troop meeting, bringing his "blue card” or a letter from the merit-badge counselor as evidence that the requirements were met. For any other apparent errors the Scout should inform the Scoutmaster or the Assistant Scoutmaster, bringing his Individual History Report, Boy Scout Handbook, Troop Activity Logbook, and letters about service participation or rank requirement passage as evidence. The Scoutmaster will correct the Scout’s copy of the History Report and inform the Record keeper of the changes. Corrections will then be made in the computer database and will be reflected in the next regularly scheduled Individual History Report the Scout receives. Troop Guide 42 Be Prepared!
