ADVANCEMENT: requirements information now available in online videos

There are a lot of advancement changes this year, so wanted to make sure everyone saw them. One thing to note is that the BSA has brought back 4 MBs from the archives just for this year: Carpentry, Pathfinding, Signaling, and Tracking. There are special badges for these, but they do count just like other MBs.

Help Wanted: Adult Volunteers needed in many areas

From the new Handbook, there are some new requirements for various ranks. These new requirements will officially take effect on January 1, 2010, so anyone working on ranks after that point will need to meet these requirements.

The changes are:

Tenderfoot

A Scout must teach another person how to tie a square knot using the EDGE model (explain, demonstrate, guide, and enable). He must also be able to discuss four specific examples of how he lived the points of the Scout Law in his daily life.

Second Class

A Scout must discuss the principles of Leave No Trace and explain the factors to consider when choosing a patrol site and where to pitch a tent.
He must explain what respect is due the flag of the United States.
He must again discuss four examples of how he lived four different points of the Scout Law in his daily life.
He must earn an amount of money agreed upon by the Scout and his parents and save at least 50 percent of it.

First Class

An additional requirement to the 10 separate troop/patrol activities states he must demonstrate the principles of Leave No Trace on these outings.
He must discuss four more examples of how he lived the remaining four points of the Scout Law in his daily life.

Life

A Scout must use the EDGE model to teach a younger Scout a specified skill.
