Scoutmaster Podcast 343 - Scout Advancement Questions | ScoutmasterCG Archive - Archived and reproduced without explicit permission

Scout advancement questions are often easy to answer …

… if you simply take things at face value. It’s actually all pretty easy to understand. Problems arise when Scouters don’t challenge their own assumptions after they have read the requirements or directions and policies in the Guide to Advancement.

This week I’ll answer three Scout advancement questions you’ve emailed me.

As always, I’ll encourage everyone to get a copy of the Guide to Advancement, read it and work to understand what it has to say. Here’s a link to a PDF version
