One subcommittee of the council advancement
team is the process and review
committee. The primary responsibilities
of the process and review committee are
to hear and recommend the lifesaving and/
or meritorious action awards; requests time
extensions from National for youth beyond
the age of 18 years old; work through the
appeals process with the unit and district;
and request Eagle board of reviews beyond
the age of 18 and 6 months. In addition,
the process and review committee
works very closely with the advancement
special needs committee.
In assessing individuals who have been
recommended for lifesaving and meritorious
action awards, these awards are made only
for outstanding and unusual acts that demonstrate
unusual heroism, skill, or bravery

Your Role as a Parent
Cub Scouting encourages closeness to
family. The program will give you opportunities
to take part in activities with your
son. It provides a positive way for parent
and son to grow closer together, and encourages
you to spend quality time together.
In this way, Cub Scouting is a program
for the entire family.
The Cub Scout years are developing
years for young boys, falling between the
dependence of early childhood and the relative
independence of early adolescence.
As he grows, your son will gain the ability
to do more things “on his own,” but at this
stage of his development, your help is critical.
The advancement plan is designed for
parents to use to create a learning environment
in their home. With the Cub Scout
handbooks parents and boys work together.
This plan provides fun for the boys, gives
them a sense of personal achievement as
they earn badges, and strengthens family
understanding as parents work with boys
on projects.
While Cub Scouts will learn skills and
work on projects in their den meetings, the
parent remains at the center of the advancement
program. As each task is done or each
skill is demonstrated, the parent signs the
Cub Scout’s handbook to record its completion.
And when the boy has completed all
the requirements to earn an award, the parent
presents that award at the next monthly
pack meeting.
