Where this site's information comes from
Nothing on this site is an official Boy Scouts of America publication, and nothing here invents a requirement.
Every step and every page is transcribed from one of the documents below and says which. What this site adds is the relationships between them — what has to happen before what — which no single publication sets out in one place. Where this site and the current edition disagree, the edition is right, and we would be glad to be told.
