Life Rank Advancement Script
Congratulations to the Scouts that achieved the Life Scout Rank.
The trail to Eagle continues through the rank of Life Scout where leadership, service and living the Scout spirit are emphasized. Advancement continues to be measured in merit badges, service hours and leadership.
To attain this rank, a Scout must:
- Live the Scout Spirit by using the Scout Promise and Scout Oath in everyday life.
- Be active in the troop for at least six months as a Star Scout.
- Earn five additional merit badges, including three for eagle requirements.
- Earn at least six service hours.
- Serve at least six months in a leadership position.
- Participate in a Scoutmaster Conference and a Board of Review where he confirmed that he met the requirements to be a Star Scout.
