Boy Scout Program Changes

Hi,

As of January 1st there have been many changes to the boy scout rank requirements. The new requirements won’t affect the current rank the scout is working on, but will go into effect after they complete that rank. It is important for scouts to go over the new requirements needed for ranks.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask me or Mr. Putnik

Here are some links to learn more about the new requirements:
