A reminder to Unit Leaders and Advancement Chairs:

All Advancement Orders must be accompanied by a completed report before you can purchase awards. This will be enforced so please plan ahead before you arrive.

Guide to Advancement page 14, 4.0.0.2 Reporting Advancement

All Cub Scout, Scouts BSA, Venturing, and Sea Scouts ranks must be reported to local councils. The best and most accurate method is through Scoutbook Plus (see “Electronic Advancement Reporting,” 6.0.0.0, for more detail on reporting). At the council’s discretion, the paper form, Advancement Report, may also be submitted. All badges of rank, merit badges, and Eagle Palms are restricted items. Unit leadership may not purchase these insignia for presentation without having filed a report of the youth’s advancement. An advancement report is not required to purchase Adventure loops or pins. However, to ensure that each Cub Scout’s record is complete and accurate, all Adventures—required and elective—should be posted in Scoutbook Plus in a timely manner.
