BSA’s current edition of Guide to Advancement 2017 is now online at scouting.org/advancement Outgoing Scouts Need an accurate listing of awards, ranks, and recognitions for their New Unit /Council. The “losing" unit should give the BSA "Transfer Form" (transfer of Record not registration) to the Scout's adult family member. Official Advancement Records are maintained at Council. T o be recorded, ANY AND ALL must be submitted by the Unit leader AND NO ONE ELSE . Units are to submit advancements and recognitions on a Unit Advancement Report immediately after activity completion; monthly, even if only one Scout is listed. ADVANCEMENT BARRY SWIFT
