Scout Advancement
The goal of every Scout is to reach the rank of Eagle Scout. Only 4% of all Scouts ever reach this milestone but our Troop wants to change these statistics! It is up to the Scout to lead his own way through the ranks. We strive to get all Scouts to the rank of First Class within the first year but this is only done through active participation and some hard work on the part of the Scout. The below information will hopefully help guide you along the advancement path.
