Advancement through the ranks of Scouting provides a means of recognizing a Scout’s accomplishments in skills, leadership and service. The Scout must show initiative and ask an older Scout or adult to test him on his skill, and sign-off on each achievement. When a boy joins Boy Scouts, his first achievement is the rank of Scout. From there, the Scout learns numerous scouting and leadership skills, and progressively moves up the ranks to Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life, and then Eagle…The highest rank in Boy Scouts. Advancement is not automatic or achieved because of age, but depends on the Scout’s initiative and willingness to learn.
