Rank Requirements

BOARDS OF REVIEW for Rank Advancement are held VIRTUALLY on the SECOND SUNDAY of each month (although sometimes it will be on a different Sunday). You can check the CALENDAR to see when they're scheduled in a particular month.

You should sign up for a Board of Review after you complete your Scoutmaster Conference. To request a Scoutmaster Conference or a Board of Review, use the "SM Conference and Board of Review" link on the sidebar/pulldown menu of this site.

The first four ranks you can earn as a Scout are:

Scout

Tenderfoot

Second Class

First Class

Boy Scouts calls these the Early Ranks. When you look at your Scout Handbook you'll see that most of the requirements are activity-based, meaning you have to learn then show or demonstrate that you can do them (like tying knots or giving first aid), or that you've actually taken part in them (like setting up a tent and camping overnight). You can click on each of the rank names above to see the requirements.

Boy Scouts has produced some very good short videos for every one of the requirements for these ranks. You can check them out by clicking here: RANK VIDEOS

Keep track of all the requirements you've completed by making a check mark in your Scout Handbook, then get the requirement signed off by a Troop Guide, Senior Scout, or Scout Leader.

To let Troop 98 know what requirements you're missing please complete this EARLY RANKS SURVEY.
