Advancement Principles

• Advancement encourages the ideals of Scouting.
• Personal growth is the prime consideration in the program. Scouts learn by doing. And they progress and their individual rates.
• A badge earned is a recognition of what a Scout is able to do, not just a reward for what he has done and never an award for trying to do something.
• The parent or guardians role is never to carry the Scout, but rather to monitor, motivate and support the Scout.
