- A Scout learns. Learning in Scouting is experiential – a process of discovery – not an academic exercise. Our goal is enabling Scouts to lead themselves to learn anything they need to know.
- A Scout is tested. Scouts don’t ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ in the academic sense. They get to keep trying until they complete the challenge. Their knowledge will be challenged many times in the natural course of doing what Scouts do, but they are only tested and passed once.
- A Scout is reviewed.
- Scoutmaster's Conference: This is a collaborative discussion that reviews how things have gone thus far, and looks forward at next steps in the journey.
- Board of Review: The purpose of this discussion is to gauge the quality of a Scout's experience in the program.
- A Scout is recognized.
- Immediate recognition: Our Advancement Chair hands out badges earned in a simple ceremony during the Troop meeting following the Board of Review.
- Formal recognition: We hold three Courts of Honor each year, where merit badges and rank advancements are recognized in front of Scouts, family, and friends.
