Board of Review - Advancements
 
Insights, guidelines and additional information on the Scouts Advancements and the Board of Review.

There has been much discussion during committee meetings and Boards of Review (BOR) related to "Scout Spirit" (i.e., defined as living the Scout Oath and Scout Law in a Scout's everyday life) and the proper rules related to BOR for advancement to a higher rank. Attached please find some PDF files containing the official National BSA Advancement Policies & Procedures Manual related to BOR. I encourage each of you to read the attached 3 pages, particularly the first 1.5 pages. Each scout that appears for a BOR should understand the basic intent and rules (e.g., be properly uniformed) of the BOR. During the Scoutmaster Conference discussion each scout should be reminded of the rules.
 
This important event in a Scout life will be particularly meaningful if the interviewing adults have a basic understanding of the guidelines, rules and principles of the review process. We included some information for your convenience.

Thank you all for your voluntary support of Weston Troop 788 and trying to help our sons' / these young men be the best scouts possible via having a fun solid scouting program - our common goal.

YIS, Harry Spencer, Troop Committee Chairman
