Event

8.0.0.0. The board of review

Required

For the Eagle Scout rank, a Lone Scout works with the district or council advancement committee according to local practices. For the other ranks the Guide to Advancement does not say who holds the board — ask the council.

Notes and warnings

Warning. For the Eagle Scout rank, section 5.0.3.3 says a Lone Scout works with the district or council advancement committee. Nothing was found in the Guide to Advancement saying who holds the board of review for a Lone Scout's Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star or Life rank. Ask the local council rather than assuming.

Where this step comes from

  1. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 5.0.3.3 · For Eagle, working with the district or council advancement committee.
  2. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 8.0.0.0 · Boards of review generally. Nothing there addresses a Lone Scout's non-Eagle board.
