Scout Advancement

The Troopmaster software is used by the adult leadership to track Troop, Adult and Scout information. It contains the official "records" of the troop. Contact the Advancement Chair to request an updated Individual Progress Report for your scout.

Boy Scouts earn rank advancement as they meet the requirements specified for each scout rank. The requirements for each rank are specified by each link below:

Each rank's requirements are tracked by Scout and inside the Troop Master program. For more information about who tracks specific requirements, contact the Advancement Chairperson here.

The requirements for each rank are specified in The Boy Scout Handbook. Merit badges are NOT required for the first 4 ranks but MAY be earned at any time for future advancements towards the Star, Life and Eagle ranks. Merit badges are generally earned at Summer and Winter Camps, District events, and are occasionally sponsored by the Troop.

To successfully advance a Scout must:

Fulfill the rank advancement requirements described in his handbook;

Have a Scoutmaster Conference

Request and Pass a Board of Review consisting of 2-3 adults who will review the scout’s progress; and accomplishments.

Present his handbook signed by the Board of Review members to the Advancement Chairman for recording.
