Advancement Is About Growth — Not Perfection

Advancement in Scouts BSA is designed to help youth:
• Build skills
• Develop character
• Practice responsibility
• Learn from experience

Scouts advance by doing their best and living the Scout Oath and Scout Law—not by being flawless. Advancement is a process of growth over time.
