Tenderfoot to Life

Tenderfoot to Life Rank Process

1. Have all your requirements signed off in your handbook by a scout who is at least two ranks above your next rank (ex: First Class scouts may sign off on Scout and Tenderfoot rank requirements). Assistant Scoutmasters are authorized to sign off on any rank requirements.

2. Have a Scoutmaster conference with the Scoutmaster or an Assistant Scoutmaster. 

3. Update your rank requirement dates in Scoutbook using the signoff dates from your scout handbook. This will require that you access and update your Scoutbook account.

4. Update your camping, hiking, and service hours logs in your handbook and Scoutbook account online - they should match. Print out your Advancement Form from Scoutbook. Look under My Dashboard > Individual Record > Scouts BSA Report

5. Submit a request for a Board of Review using the online Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScSjoC4CbFjYR2zsyOo7tvrJQPGy53Ok2jQsMx_jQYIpLCT_Q/viewform 

6. Once you have been given a date for your BOR, reply to the BOR email to confirm your attendance. No-shows without notice will cause a delay in scheduling your BOR.

7. On the date of your Board of Review, wear your Class A Uniform (uniform shirt, scout-like pants, sash, etc.). Bring your updated Handbook and Advancement Form.
