Scoutmaster Conferences and Boards of Review
It is the Scout's responsibility to schedule a Scoutmaster Conference and Board of Review when he has completed the requirements for rank advancement.
The steps for a Scoutmaster Conference are as follows:
- 1: Contact an Advancement Committee member to make sure participation, merit badge, and Leadership Position requirements are recorded and have been completed.
- 2: The Scoutmaster of the troop conducts all Life and Eagle conferences. For other ranks, the Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster for the Scouts Patrol will conduct the conference. The Scout should contact the Scoutmaster or Patrol ASM via phone, email or in person to schedule the meeting.
- 3: For the rank of Life and Eagle the scout is required to wear a Class A uniform. For ranks below Life, a scout may wear either a Class A or AB uniform. The Scout must have his Boy Scout Handbook show up on time and be prepared for the Scoutmaster Conference.
