Advancement has four steps through each
award level.
First, the Scout learns. Much of his learning
comes from other boys in his patrol or troop
and by active participation in troop program.
His patrol activities are directed toward the
skills he needs. Every troop hike, camping trip,
or other activity offers potential learning
experiences.
Second, the Scout is tested. The specific
requirements determine the kind of testing.
Verbal testing is sufficient in some instances.
In other instances, a Scout must demonstrate
his skills by doing.
Third, the Scout is reviewed. The purpose of
the review is to ensure that all requirements
for advancement have been met. This includes
a check of the Scout's attitude and practice of
the ideals of Scouting, in addition to his
Scoutcraft skills. The decision regarding
whether a Scout has met the required
standards to qualify for rank advancement
begins with the troop and, for the Eagle Scout
rank, is approved by the district, local council,
and finally, the National Council.
Fourth, the Scout is recognized. The final step
in advancement involves presentation of the
badge, usually at a ceremony before the entire
troop.
