Milestone
1. Four months active as a First Class Scout
Required Often forgotten
One of two four-month clocks on this sheet, and it starts on the date of your First Class board of review. It runs at the same time as requirement 5 rather than before or after it.
Notes and warnings
Note. Requirements 1 and 5 are both four months, both measured while a First Class Scout, and nothing on the sheet says one follows the other. A Scout who takes a position of responsibility as soon as First Class is approved runs both clocks together and reaches Star in about four months rather than eight.
Where this step comes from
