Advancement
What Is Advancement?
Advancement is the process by which youth members progress from rank to rank. Ranks are simply a means to an end, not an end in themselves. Everything youth do to advance, from the day they join until they leave Scouting, should be designed to help them have an exciting and meaningful experience. Education and fun are important functions of the Scouting movement, and they must be the basis of Scout advancement.
