For each rank advancement, <strong><strong>Scout</strong>s</strong> must complete a Board <strong>of</strong> Review (BOR)<br />

meeting held between the <strong>Scout</strong> and several adult leaders <strong>of</strong> the troop. The troop<br />

has a BOR Chairman who coordinates the event and organizes all records.<br />

The BOR is the final process in awarding rank advancement. As such, all other<br />

requirements must be completed including the <strong>Scout</strong>master conference. The<br />

following steps must be completed, in order, before attending a BOR:<br />

1. Complete all advancement requirements. Verify this with the <strong>Scout</strong>master<br />

at any meeting. The <strong>Scout</strong>master will confirm with the Record Keeper.<br />

2. Once all requirements are completed, contact the <strong>Scout</strong>master to set up a<br />

<strong>Scout</strong>master conference. This can be done following any regular <strong>Scout</strong><br />

meeting or arranged separately.<br />

3. Upon completing the <strong>Scout</strong>master conference, the <strong>Scout</strong>master will let the<br />

Record Keeper and the Board <strong>of</strong> Review know that the <strong>Scout</strong> is eligible for<br />

advancement. The <strong>Scout</strong>master will remind the <strong>Scout</strong> <strong>of</strong> the next Board <strong>of</strong><br />

Review.<br />

4. The <strong>Scout</strong> may then attend the BOR on scheduled nights normally held in<br />

September and January <strong>of</strong> each year. Upon completion the Board <strong>of</strong><br />

Review Chairman will notify the <strong>Scout</strong>master and Record Keeper.<br />

Eagle candidates must follow a slightly different process. Please see Eagle<br />

Advancement elsewhere in this guide.<br />

<strong><strong>Scout</strong>s</strong> must RSVP for all outings according to the deadlines stated for that<br />

outing. Generally the RSVP date is the Tuesday before each event. RSVP<br />

online and include the number <strong>of</strong> family members attending (including<br />

parents), and the number <strong>of</strong> passengers your parent can accommodate if<br />

driving. Events will be locked on the RSVP date and no further reservations<br />

can be accepted.<br />

The <strong>Troop</strong> will take many camping trips throughout the year. The locations, dates,<br />

maps, and other details are included in this guide under Outings. A suggested<br />

checklist <strong>of</strong> items to bring is also included in this guide. Final details <strong>of</strong> these trips<br />

will be provided on the website as the events near. Review the website for last<br />

minute details or have the <strong>Scout</strong> contact their patrol leaders for more information.<br />
