Board of Review Camping Trips/ Outings RSVP Troop 304, Cub Scouts of America The Lovett School Kevin Link - Scoutmaster www.lovett304.com For each rank advancement, Scouts must complete a Board of Review (BOR) meeting held between the Scout and several adult leaders of the troop. The troop has a BOR Chairman who coordinates the event and organizes all records. The BOR is the final process in awarding rank advancement. As such, all other requirements must be completed including the Scoutmaster conference. The following steps must be completed, in order, before attending a BOR: 1. Complete all advancement requirements. Verify this with the Scoutmaster at any meeting. The Scoutmaster will confirm with the Record Keeper. 2. Once all requirements are completed, contact the Scoutmaster to set up a Scoutmaster conference. This can be done following any regular Scout meeting or arranged separately. 3. Upon completing the Scoutmaster conference, the Scoutmaster will let the Record Keeper and the Board of Review know that the Scout is eligible for advancement. The Scoutmaster will remind the Scout of the next Board of Review. 4. The Scout may then attend the BOR on scheduled nights normally held in September and January of each year. Upon completion the Board of Review Chairman will notify the Scoutmaster and Record Keeper. Eagle candidates must follow a slightly different process. Please see Eagle Advancement elsewhere in this guide. Scouts must RSVP for all outings according to the deadlines stated for that outing. Generally the RSVP date is the Tuesday before each event. RSVP online and include the number of family members attending (including parents), and the number of passengers your parent can accommodate if driving. Events will be locked on the RSVP date and no further reservations can be accepted. The Troop will take many camping trips throughout the year. The locations, dates, maps, and other details are included in this guide under Outings. A suggested checklist of items to bring is also included in this guide. Final details of these trips will be provided on the website as the events near. Review the website for last minute details or have the Scout contact their patrol leaders for more information.
