| To schedule a Board of Review the Scout must contact
Sue Pretzer
(bor@bsatroop776.org),
our Board of Review Coordinator. Scouts should be in full uniform at
their Board of Review and must bring their Scout handbook and record
of service hours (if applicable).
BACKGROUND:
Once a Scout is ready to advance in rank, he must take part in a
Scoutmaster Conference and a Board of Review.
The Board of Review is how the troop committee tracks the
progress of a Scout to determine his understanding of the ideals of
Scouting and how he applies them in daily life in the troop.
The Board will check that the Scout has done what he was supposed
to do for that rank and will review with the Scout the requirements
for the next rank. This review is not and should not be an
examination or retest of skills learned. Rather, it is an attempt to
determine the Scout's attitude and his acceptance of Scouting's
ideals, both in the troop and outside of it.
The Board of Review is conducted by three parents in the troop.
The Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmasters are not members of the
Board. Obviously, the Scout's parent should not serve on his Board
either.
