There are very important changes to BSA Rank Requirements. Please review the new BSA Rank Requirement details found in this e-book: http://www.scouting.org/filestore/boyscouts/pdf/524-012_BS_Requirements_Insert.pdf
KEY CHANGES
Scouts who joined the Boy Scouts of America on or after Jan. 1, 2016, MUST follow the rank requirements as printed in this Boy Scout Handbook or in the current year’s Boy Scout Requirements book.
Scouts who joined the BSA prior to Jan. 1, 2016:
- Who are working on the Tenderfoot through First Class ranks MAY continue to follow the old requirements, but MUST convert to the current requirements upon attaining First Class.
- Who have completed the First Class rank MAY complete the rank they are currently working on in the old requirements, but MUST convert to the current requirements for subsequent ranks.
Beginning Jan. 1, 2017, all Scouts MUST use the current requirements regardless of rank.
