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.
