Advancement provides a satisfying means of recognizing kids for their progress. The children have a ladder to climb, with recognition at each step. Presenting awards to kids in meaningful ceremonies to recognize their accomplishments is a principle of advancement. Advancement is not competition among children. Each Cub Scout is encouraged to advance steadily and purposefully, setting their own goals with guidance from their family and leaders. Measurement for satisfying requirements is “Do Your Best,” and that level can be different for each child.
