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.
