Each Scout is responsible for his own advancement. Older Scouts and adult leaders are available to teach, assist and guide. In practice, the older Scouts (in cooperation with the adult leadership) are assigned the responsibility of monitoring the progress and advancement of the younger Scouts as part of their leadership development skills.
As a scout learns more skills and takes part in activities he is recognized in his achievements by earning badges of rank. They are Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life and finally Eagle. The requirements to earn each rank are more challenging than the one before it. Most active Scouts will earn the rank of First Class within a year of joining the Troop. It’s important for Scouts to participate in activities and camping trips in order to advance. Many of the requirements for the ranks through First Class center around basic Scouting skills learned and practiced on camping trips.
