Event
4.1.0.4. Recognition: congratulate immediately and publicly
Required
The third of the Guide's three steps, and the Guide is specific about the timing. A Cub Scout who has completed advancement should be congratulated immediately and publicly, not at the next convenient occasion.
Notes and warnings
Tip. If the pack can report and purchase quickly, loops and pins can be presented at the next den meeting rather than waiting for a pack meeting. The accompanying pocket certificates can then be used in a ceremony at a later pack meeting, or the other way round with the certificates at the den meeting. The Guide offers both and does not prefer one.
