Milestone
Board of review, and the rank is earned
Required
Requirement 12 is the board of review. It is not a retest: the requirements have already been passed, and the board asks how it went and what the Scout got out of it.
Notes and warnings
Warning. Rank requirements are republished yearly. Guide to Advancement 4.0.0.1 states that once a new or revised requirement appears on the program web page, a Scout beginning work on the next rank uses it as stated there. This page records the date its copy was read. Check it against the official page before relying on it.
