Tenderfoot Rank Advancement Script
Congratulations to those Scouts that achieved the Tenderfoot Scout Rank.
Attainment of the Tenderfoot Rank is the first earned rank by the Scout in the Scouting Adventure. By building upon what the Scout learned in earning the Scout rank, the Scouts earning the Tenderfoot Rank are beginning to learn the basic Scout skills . . . the skills that will serve him as a Scout and hiker . . . and will enable him to "be prepared".
To attain this rank, a Scout must demonstrate basic Scout skills including:
- Demonstrating that he has the skill to tie knots and knows the use of the half hitch and taut line knots, and knows how to whip and fuse the ends of a rope.
- Knowing the rules of safe hiking and the buddy system.
- Spending one night on a group campout where he also participated in the preparation and cooking of a meal, and identified local poisonous plants.
- Demonstrating how to display, raise, lower and fold the American Flag.
- Practicing and showing improvement in five physical exercises.
- Demonstrating the Heimlich maneuver and described its use.
- Demonstrating his knowledge of basic First Aid for minor injuries.
- Participating in a Scoutmaster Conference and a Board of Review where he confirmed that he met the requirements for the Tenderfoot rank.
