Board of Review Scheduling Process

BoR Appointments:

  • BoRs are by appointment only; no walk-ins.
  • BORs are typically offered twice a month on Mondays before Troop meetings and at monthly campouts.
  • Schedule a BOR using this Google Form.

Parent Volunteering:

  • Each Scout’s parent is required volunteer to serve on a BoR for another Scout when their Scout sits for a BOR.
  • The parent may volunteer for a different date than when their Scout has her BOR.

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.

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.

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.

Same-Day Scoutmaster Conferences:

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

Special Circumstances:

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