Board of Review Scheduling Process

BoR Appointments:

  • BoRs are by appointment only; no walk-ins.
  • Schedule appointments using the Sign-up Genius link in the Troop 54 Newsletter.

BoR Availability:

  • Appointments are typically offered on Mondays before Troop meetings.
  • Additional times/days and BoRs during camping trips may be available in Sign-up Genius. Scouts are encouraged to request BoRs at camping trips when possible.

Parent Volunteering:

  • For BoRs scheduled via Sign-up Genius, each Scout’s parent should volunteer to serve on a BoR for another Scout that same evening.
  • Parent volunteering is not required for BoRs held during camping trips.

Scoutmaster Conference Timing:

  • Ideally, complete the Scoutmaster Conference 1–2 weeks before the BoR, preferably during a camping trip.
  • While it’s preferred to complete all rank requirements before the Scoutmaster Conference, this is not mandatory.

Completion of Requirements:

  • All rank requirements, including the Scoutmaster Conference, must be completed and signed off by the Scoutmaster or an Assistant Scoutmaster before the BoR.
  • If requirements are incomplete, the BoR will need to be rescheduled.

Same-Day Scoutmaster Conferences:

  • Scoutmaster Conferences should not be scheduled on the same day as the BoR to avoid delays.

Day of the BoR:

  • Scouts must arrive in full Class A uniform.
  • Upon arrival, check in with the BoR Coordinator at the scheduled time to obtain a BoR form.

Special Circumstances:

  • If special circumstances arise, please discuss exceptions with the Scoutmaster, Committee Chair, or Advancement Chair.
