Each scout must complete a Board of Review before advancing in rank. Eagle Boards are scheduled on an individual basis, and usually last one hour. Boards for other ranks last between 15 and 30 minutes, and are typically held the week before a Court of Honor. Scouts must request a Board in advance. Scouts should wear their Class A uniform and bring their scout handbook.

To request a Board of Review, scouts should contact the Board Coordinator. Include your name and the rank you are requesting.

Each Board of Review consists of three adult committee members from the troop. Parents are encouraged to volunteer to serve on the Boards. Applications to become a committee member may be obtained from the Board Coordinator or the Membership Coordinator. Guidelines for each rank advancement are provided to the Board Members.
