Advancement & Achievement<br />
the merits of scouting<br />
A young person joins Scouting to have fun.<br />
The Scouting program provides them an<br />
opportunity for personal growth through the<br />
use of the advancement program. This program<br />
teaches a young person how to set goals and<br />
work to achieve those goals. Scouts gain selfesteem<br />
and self-confidence as they set goals,<br />
achieve them, and are recognized through the<br />
rank advancement program. Advancement is<br />

good citizenship. In <strong>2010</strong>, Cub Scouts earned<br />
