ADVANCEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
“Cub Scout Advancement Goals: The administration of the Cub Scout advancement program is primarily the responsibility of the pack committee, with the support of the district advancement committee, the commissioner staff, and the Council Advancement Committee. See APPENDIX “D” for the Advancement Report form.
Parents of Cub Scouts should understand their role and responsibilities in their child’s advancement. For the youth to receive maximum benefit and growth from advancement, the adult’s standard for completion of any requirement should be based on the Cub Scout motto, “Do Your Best”.
Advancement recognition should be given as soon as possible after a scout completes the requirements, and be done with proper ceremony. Presentation of badges should be a part of each monthly pack meeting. Suggestions for advancement ceremonies are contained in the Cub Scout and Webelos Scout Program Helps, Staging Den and Pack Ceremonies, and the Cub Scout Leader Book.
Packs and troops should be encouraged to work together to ensure a smooth transition from the Webelos/AOL den to the Scout troop.
Good advancement records should be maintained by the pack to be sure that the Scouts are advancing and that the awards are presented promptly.
Cub Scout day camp, resident camping, Webelos overnight campouts, family camping and council or district Scouting shows provide additional opportunities for advancement. Encourage families to participate.
The use of Den Chiefs (Troop Scouts, Varsity Scouts or Venturers who assist with Cub Scout and Webelos/AOL Scout den meetings) can help stimulate advancement through example and experience, as well as encourage Cub Scouts to continue in the Scouting program.” —BSA Guide to Advancement
