Milestone

4.2.1.3. All the requirements for the rank are complete

Required

Every requirement signed off. What happens next depends on which rank it is, and there is exactly one rank where the answer is different.

Notes and warnings

Note. Complete means every requirement signed off by somebody authorized to sign it. For Star, Life and Eagle it also means the non-merit-badge work was done after the previous rank's board of review.

Where this step comes from

  1. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 4.2.1.3 · After completing all the requirements for a rank, except Scout rank, a Scout meets with a board of review.
