Advancement is our primary way of encouraging the long-term commitment and growth that keeps members engaged. The process is most effective when integrated directly into unit activities, allowing participation to naturally lead to achievement and a readiness for new challenges.

While the council executive board and council committees oversee the implementation of awards, the journey begins at the unit level. Scouts or Venturers interested in starting the advancement process should first reach out to their unit leader (such as their Scoutmaster, Cubmaster, or Crew Advisor).
