Troop 663 Advancement Guidelines

Scouts should receive recognition for their accomplishments and achievements.

Advancement sets a pattern of setting positive goals and reaching them throughout life. Even though it's not one of the primary aims of Scouting, advancement is a natural byproduct when your Scouting experience is acquainting you with the BSA ideals, the patrol method, the outdoors, association with adults, personal growth, leadership development, and the Scout uniform. It's easy to advance by following these four basic steps:

1. Learning

2. Testing

3. Review

4. Recognition
