What
is Advancement? Advancement
is the process by which youth members of the Boy Scouts of America progress from
rank to rank in the Scouting program. Advancement is a means to an end, not an
end in itself. Everything done to advance and earn these ranks should be
designed to have the young person have an exciting and meaningful experience.
Education and fun are functions of the Scouting movement and they must be the
basis of the advancement program. A fundamental principle of advancement in the
Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting or Venturing is the growth a young person achieves as
a result of participation in a unit program. Advancement is an increase in one rank. Activity pins in
Cub Scouting are an indication of advancement as are merit badges in Boy
Scouting. The National goal is one
advancement per Cub Scout or Boy Scout per year. How is your unit doing? Read
