So you want to advance?
The Scoutmaster conference is the opportunity
for the adult leadership in the Troop to gauge the advancement of
the Scout and ensure he is participating in and benefiting from his
experience. In Troop 642, we have a tradition of
checking that certain Scout-ology is learned and retained.
Listed here are the things that our Troop puts value in for
the scout to learn. So, use this as a study
guide for your next Scoutmaster conference but, remember, use your
Scout Book as the ultimate source of information.
