From the BSA web site: Boy Scouting provides a series of surmountable obstacles and steps in overcoming them through the advancement method. The Boy Scout plans his advancement and progresses at his own pace as he meets each challenge. The Boy Scout is rewarded for each achievement, which helps him gain self-confidence. The steps in the advancement system help a Boy Scout grow in self-reliance and in the ability to help others. Troop 2 provides boys the ability to advance through a program rich with opportunities. From campouts and special trips to trained adult leaders and merit badge counselors, the boys never have to look far for advancement. This page will continue to develop as a resource for advancement. There are links on that page that will take you to the requirements for every merit badge. Per BSA Policy, the list of Merit Badge counselors is not longer available online. You must see you scoutmaster first to start working on a new merit badge. Here is a link to the BSA Awards and Advancement page in case you forgot how to READ YOUR BOOK! And here is a copy of the official BSA guide on how to earn a merit badge. For rank requirements Troop 2 defines participation as a scout who participates in just 50% of troop campouts and 50% of troop meetings activities in a twelve month period. This allows scouts who take part in activities outside of scouting (work, sports, theatre, band, etc.) to also advance. Scouts can check their campout attendance record on the bulletin board in the basement where a list is posted monthly. As a special consideration, scouts who attend summer camp or a week long high adventure trip can count that as 2 campouts for the purpose of meeting their 50% participation requirement. However positions of leadership will have their own set of requirements, usually specifying a higher level of commitment. Leadership Position applications are available right here Each application is two sided. Both sides must be submitted and signed for approval.
