Boy Scouting -
Advancement
|
The Boy Scouts of America has introduced a new service to councils that enables units to expedite the paperwork portion of the Advancement tracking process over the Internet.
This Program is now mandatory for submitting advancement reports!
This advancement service will enable units to process ranks and awards for youth members in packs, troops, teams, crews, ships and posts. Please be aware that the National Council conducts maintenance on the computer systems every Saturday from 9:00pm until Sunday at 6:00am and the advancement system may not be available at those times.
Get started on INTERNET ADVANCEMENT
USE INTERNET ADVANCEMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING:
- Each Unit's Charter Organization Representative must select a registered unit advancement processor. This Unit Advancement Processor is the only person with the Internet Advancement Access Codes. This person must have Internet Connectivity, a printer and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later with JavaScript enabled. MAC users cannot use Internet Advancement through the MAC OS.
- The Chartered Organization Representative must obtain a unit ID CODE from the Council Office (Advancement Department)
- Gather information for advancement, including merit badge applications and advancement records with dates.
- Click INTERNET ADVANCEMENT above. Follow the online instructions to process Advancements and print an Advancement Report.
- Have the appropriate people sign the printed unit advancement report and submit it to the Council. Save a copy for your files.
- Units should submit advancements before the end of each month, or more often if needed. In December, submit a report before the end of the month to update your unit and Council statistics.
