New
Boy Scout Rank Requirements
The National Youth
Protection Committee has recommended the following
additions to Boy Scout rank requirements that were
approved and will become effective January 1, 2008.
These changes will help the
BSA advance the importance of Youth Protection training
beyond the initial Boy Scout joining requirements as
well as keep youth members informed and actively engaged
in understanding the key elements of personal safety and
protection.
Tenderfoot Rank
Revised requirement 9:
Explain the importance of the buddy system as it relates
to your personal safety on outings and in your
neighborhood. Describe what a bully is and how you
should respond to one.
Second Class Rank
New requirement 8b: Explain
the three R’s of personal safety and protection.
First Class Rank
New requirement 12: Describe
the three things you should avoid doing related to use
of the Internet. Describe a cyberbully and how you
should respond to one.
The changes will be
represented in the 2008 Boy Scout Requirements book and
the revised ninth printing of the 11th edition of the
Boy Scout Handbook.
Scouting
Alumni - Reconnect Today
 Remember
growing up . . . you were proud to be a Boy Scout. With each
Boy Scout rank advancement came new challenges, new adventures,
and many times, new friends to share your experiences with.
As a BSA alumni, former Boy Scouts
now share memories that will last forever. Do you remember the
smell of wood smoke and great food sitting by the fire at the
Boy Scout camp? How about half cooked/half burnt food and a wet
sleeping bag?
Even better still were all the great
hiking, fishing and swimming trips that Scouting introduced you
to? Remember all the neat wildlife you tracked and learned
about? Maybe you might remember the time the wildlife tracked
your Boy Scout troop instead? No one ever remembers those
BSA campouts when everything went smoothly and the weather was
perfect.
Tell us about your favorite Boy
Scout experience and reconnect with your past.
When you sign up we'll keep you up
to date on what the Boy Scouts of America is doing in your
community or your hometown today. Find out how you can get
re-involved with the same great youth leadership program you
remember, the Boy Scouts of America!
