advancement in scouting

Advancement is an important part of Scouting that involves earning awards as you learn new skills and have new experiences.  Details about different advancement activities can be found here.

Remember that advancement should not be considered as something separate from your overall scouting experience.  When you first start and work your way up to First Class, many of the things you would normally do in scouting (camping trips, hikes, community service projects) all involve learning opportunities and activities that contribute to advancement.  

The Boy Scout Handbook is your best source for details regarding what is required for advancement.
