Scout Rank Advancement Script
Congratulations to those that Scouts who have achieved the Scout Rank.
The Scout Rank signifies the beginning of the Scouting adventure. The Scouting adventure begins by building on the three key elements of Scouting . . . the Scout Oath, Scout Law, Scout Motto . . . with the spirit of Scouting.
To enter Scouting as a Scout rank, these Scouts had to demonstrate:
- The Scout sign, Scout salute and Scout handshake.
- That he understands and agrees to live by the Scout Oath, Scout Law, Scout Motto, Scout Slogan, and the Outdoor Code.
- He knows the description of the Scout Badge.
- That he knows the square knot, which is a joining knot signifying his joining the Boy Scouts.
- He has the Scout spirit and has participated in a Scoutmaster Conference where he demonstrated the above requirements and was introduced to the Scouting Adventure.
(#)____ Scouts are awarded the Scout Rank tonight:
