Unit Leaders, BE PREPARED! As we approach the summer months the membership of your units will change for it's the prime time that military families move to new duty stations. To insure that outgoing & incoming Scouts get full credit for their achievements, please comply with the guidance in the following slides… To be recorded: Each Scout's Official Advancement Record is maintained at Council. Rank Advancements • Merit Badges • Other Recognitions (Whittling Chip, Totin' Chip, Mile Swim, etc.) Are Submitted by a youth’s Unit (Pack, Troop, etc.) AND NO ONE ELSE Barry Swift District Advancement Chair
Units are to submit Advancements and Recognitions on a “Unit Advancement Report” immediately after activity completion not the recognition presentation. A report should be submitted to Council monthly, even if only one Scout is listed.
When a Scout leaves his current unit, for any reason , that unit is to immediately prepare & give the Scout's parent/guardian a BSATRANSFER FORM to take to his next unit whether the new unit be across the street or anywhere world-wide. The form is to show all known accomplishments at the time of leaving.The form, # 524-401, may be downloaded from scouting.org>ScoutSource>Forms To insure completeness, please use the BSA form instead of computer spreadsheets. Additionally, Scouts are to possess their own merit badge partial "blue cards" until merit badge completion. Please use this form and No other to ensure completeness Barry Swift 910-308-2731
