1 The 2016 Boy Scout Requirements Be Prepared
2 Where Things Stand Now n Revised requirements for all Boy Scout ranks have been in effect since January 1, n All Boy Scout rank advancement must now follow these requirements. n The new requirements are included in the 2016 Boy Scout Handbook and in the current Boy Scout Requirements book. n All Boy Scout advancement activities should be based on these new requirements. n These activities need to be planned.
3 Where to Find Them n Information on the new requirements is available at this website: Check the first 5 items under Boy Scouting (All are PDF files)
4 Basic Points n Scout is now a rank Boy Scouting now has seven ranks. No board of review is required for Scout rank. n Requirements for Scout closely match those for Arrow of Light, for an easier transition into Boy Scouting. Boys who were not in Cub Scouting will need more help n Scouts are able to work on Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class requirements concurrently, but must complete those ranks individually, in order. n Star, Life and Eagle will continue to be worked on consecutively, with no overlap.
5 Basic Points n Several current requirements have been migrated to lower ranks, and one to a higher rank. n Several new topic & skill areas are now included. n Several new requirements require Scouts to explain why they should do things in a certain way, and how to prevent bad outcomes. n Some require them to do things on their own and keep records of their performance. n Some require them to consider their family, community and the environment. n Several require them to consider their commitment to the Scout Oath and Law.
6 The Cub Scout Connection n The new Cub Scout advancement program came into effect last year. n As a part of that change, the last year of Cub Scouting now called Arrow of Light, includes elements to prepare boys for an easy transition into Boy Scouting. n This includes a strong outdoor component and learning of many Boy Scout fundamentals previously covered in Scout and Tenderfoot. n Many of the Scout requirements should be easy for these former Cubs to pass, needing little more than a review of what they already know.

38 Some Specific Items to Plan For
39 Planning for Change n Scout rank needs more time and attention than the Scout badge did. l Work to bring all new Scouts to Scout rank together set the pattern. l Memorizing may be a problem for some boys. l Provide a meaningful troop meeting for them to observe and discuss afterward. l Earning the Cyber Chip plus the YP discussion must not become barriers work with parents. n Schedule outdoor events to support the new sequence (Tot n Chip for Tenderfoot, etc.).
40 Planning for Change n The new Tenderfoot exercises need to be learned and practiced. l The Scouts need to understand their goal of improvement in each of the exercises. l Parents need to be involved in the exercise practice and recordkeeping for 30 days. n Help Scouts and parents understand how to plan, follow and record their SC/FC exercise program. n Plan campouts to provide opportunities for the 5 and 10 activity requirements, including camping. n The FC personal finance requirement will need parental involvement and follow-through.
41 Planning for Change n The GPS requirement may require additional skills and equipment within the troop. n Consider working weather awareness, boating knowledge, emergency preparedness, and environmental action into troop meeting or campout programs. n Plan service project opportunities for all ranks above Scout (TF = 1, SC = 2, FC = 3, Star & Life = 6 hours each). n Remember to include discussions of duty to God and 4 points of Scout Law into Scoutmaster conferences or boards of review for TF/SC/FC.
42 Planning for Change n Note that reviewing youth protection and earning the Cyber Chip is required for Star rank. n Take time to review the allowable TF/SC/FC requirements for the Life EDGE requirement they have changed. Assign them individually. n All parts of Eagle req. 2 and Eagle Palm req. 2 should be discussed with candidates. n A transition plan was in effect during It has now expired. n Be certain that all members of your troop know that the new requirements which took effect on 1/1/16 are now mandatory.
43 In Summary n After the start of 2017, all Scouts MUST use the new requirements regardless of rank. For more discussion of the requirement details and the transition process, you can watch Scouting.org, Scouting Magazine, Bryan on Scouting and Advancement News.
