SMC and BOR requirements

The Scoutmaster conference is a visit between the Scoutmaster and a Scout…

When a scout completes the requirements for a rank, he can request for a scoutmaster conference (SMC). After completion of SMC, he can request for a board of review (BOR). A scout needs to complete both SMC and BOR before he can advance to the next rank.

Below are what a scout needs to bring for a SMC or BOR:

- wear full uniform A (sash is also required for current 1st class rank or above). 

- scout book (with all requirements completed)

** for Star going to Life, scout also need to prepare a scout folder containing MBs, awards and supporting credentials. 

*** For Eagle SMC, check and schedule with SM at least 3 weeks before intended SMC date.
