Approval

4.4.1.5. The Skipper conference

Required

Skippers hold a conference with youth who indicate they are ready to advance to the next rank. The process is similar to that for a Scoutmaster conference at 4.2.3.5.

Note. Drawn once on this plan, and it happens at every rank. A Skipper holds a conference with any youth who indicates they are ready to advance, and the process is similar to a Scoutmaster conference at 4.2.3.5. What follows it is the ship's board of review.

Where this step comes from

  1. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 4.4.1.5 · Skippers hold a conference with youth who indicate they are ready to advance to the next rank.
  2. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 4.2.3.5 · The unit leader (Scoutmaster) conference, which the Guide names as a similar process.
