Ranks
Ranks in the Troop
There are 4 steps to Advancement:
1. A Scout learns.
2. A Scout is tested.
3. A Scout is reviewed.
4. A Scout is recognized.
All Ranks beyond Scout Rank require a Board of Review (BOR) to complete the Rank. A Board of Review is a short interview between the Scout and 3-4 members of our Adult Leader/Parent group to review the Scouts progress and get their impressions of how our Scouting Program is being conducted. Neither the Scoutmaster Conference or the Board of Review are tests.
Rank Requirements Workbooks are here: http://www.usscouts.org/advance/ScoutsBSA/list.asp

Ethics
The Outdoor Code provides a great roadmap to your behavior in nature. By leaving any environment better than you’ve found it, you take on the best characteristics of a Scout.
The Outdoor Code is one of the most important foundations of Scouting. It is your promise to care for the environment and leave no trace. You’ll need to know and understand the Outdoor Code to earn the rank of Scout.
By living by this code, you’ll be actively working to create a more enjoyable outdoor environment, not only for your fellow scouts today, but for all future scouts as well!
Leave no trace. Literally no one should be able to tell you were even there.
