Rank

The ranks and what it takes to reach them.

Pages carrying this tag, from wherever they are filed.

• Wolf Rank

  Second grade: six required Adventures and any two of seventeen electives. Bobcat comes first, Footsteps can be earned through a religious emblem instead, two required steps are done at home with a parent, and Council Fire's model-building requirements build on each other.

• Webelos Rank

  Fourth grade: six required Adventures and any two of seventeen electives, each earning a pin. Bobcat comes first, My Family can be earned through a religious emblem, Webelos Walkabout is a planned two-mile walk, and any knife work in Stronger, Faster, Higher needs Chef's Knife first.

• Tiger Rank

  First grade: six required Adventures and any two of seventeen electives, every one done with an adult partner. Bobcat comes first, Tiger Circles can be earned through a religious emblem instead, and the electives range from a den-meeting game to a summer of activities.

• Lion Rank

  Kindergarten: six required Adventures and any two electives, every one of them done alongside an adult partner. Bobcat comes first, Lion's Pride can be earned through a religious emblem instead, and several electives depend on the pack holding an event.

• Bear Rank

  Third grade: six required Adventures and any two of seventeen electives. Bobcat comes first, Fellowship can be earned through a religious emblem, Chef Tech needs Whittling done first, and Bears Afloat needs the swimmer test before its paddling.

• Arrow of Light Rank

  Fifth grade and the bridge to a troop: six required Adventures and any two of thirteen electives, the den working as a patrol, a troop visit and a campout with the patrol or a troop. The den leader signs for every requirement, and Personal Fitness needs fourteen days of tracking.

• Eagle Scout Rank

  Seven requirements, three of them six months long, one of them needing four separate approvals before any work starts, and a deadline that does not move.

• Star Rank

  Eight requirements, five of which only count from the day First Class was approved, and two four-month clocks that run concurrently rather than one after the other.

• Life Rank

  Eight requirements, two six-month clocks that run side by side rather than end to end, three hours of service that have to be conservation-related, and the only other place in the whole rank ladder that asks a Scout to teach.

• Bugling Merit Badge

  Six requirements, of which five are a week of work and the sixth is three months of serving as your troop's bugler. That term is a troop appointment, so the clock starts when somebody gives you the job rather than when you decide to earn the badge. Bugler counts as a position of responsibility toward Star and Life but not toward Eagle, the instrument may be a trumpet or a cornet rather than a bugle, and the ten calls chosen in requirement 3 are the ten that requirement 4 makes you explain.

• Eagle Palms

  One Palm for every five merit badges beyond the twenty-one required for Eagle. The first ones are not earned, they are counted, and only the Palms after those have requirements. Three of them, no waiting period, and a deadline that is the 18th birthday rather than the board of review.

• Venturing Boards of Review

  The board of review for Discovery, Pathfinder and Summit: who sits on it, who chairs it, what is discussed, and what happens after, including the parts that are nothing like Scouts BSA.

• Advancement for Members With Special Needs

  Three levels of allowance, and one line between them: an accommodation changes how a Scout learns and is a unit decision; a modification changes what a Scout learns and only a council may approve it.

• Advancement in Venturing

  Four ranks built on the ALPS model, one of which has no board of review. Then the three questions a crew actually asks: what a Venturer may count twice, how a Venturer who earned First Class carries on with Scouts BSA advancement, and whether a crew consultant may counsel a merit badge.

• The Summit Service Project and Rank Application

  Four focus areas rather than five tests, an approval that stops at the crew Advisor and one crew member, and a council that reviews the application but never the project. Then the time extension, and the route the Summit Rank Application takes from the crew to the National Service Center.

• Posthumous Awards and the Spirit of the Eagle Award

  What may be recognised after a registered youth member dies: a rank or award they had already earned, an honorary award that depends on no advancement at all, or both.

• First Class Rank

  Thirteen requirements, including a five-part cooking project that must all happen on one planned campout, a rubbish-reduction requirement needing two outings, and the last four weeks of a fitness chain that began at Tenderfoot.

• Scout Rank

  The joining rank: seven requirements, no board of review, and a Scoutmaster conference that the next rank explicitly builds on. All of it must be done as a member of a troop.

• Second Class Rank

  Twelve requirements, two of which are months long: five separate activities with two nights of camping, and four weeks of daily activity that cannot start until Tenderfoot requirement 6c is done.

• Tenderfoot Rank

  Eleven requirements, one of which is a thirty-day fitness calendar that Second Class and First Class then continue, and six of which wait on a single campout.

• Mechanics of Advancement in Scouts BSA

  The four steps by which a rank is earned (the Scout learns, is tested, is reviewed and is recognized) together with who may sign off a requirement and why a sign-off cannot be taken back.

• Sea Scout Boards of Review

  The board of review for Apprentice, Ordinary, Able and Quartermaster: who sits on it, who chairs it, what is discussed, and what happens after, including the four places where "very similar to Scouts BSA" stops being true.

• Sea Scout Ranks and Awards

  Apprentice, Ordinary, Able and Quartermaster, with the Skipper conference before each board of review, the Quartermaster service project and its four approvals, the bars and badges alongside the ranks, and the bridge of honour where all of it is presented.

• Time Extension Past the 18th Birthday

  Only for Life Scouts, only for Eagle, only where something outside the Scout's control made it impossible. Three tests, four weeks, six months.

• The Eagle Scout Service Project

  Requirement 5 is one sentence of the Eagle Scout rank and seventeen topics of the Guide. Who approves what, in which order, before any work may begin; what a project may not be; what a candidate has the right to expect from the people reviewing it; and the four things the Guide names as misconceptions.
