As BSA policies for rank entry are enforced, what
units enter will meet these requirements:
-
Units should submit reports monthly, before the
end of each month, as needed.
-
Units must submit anything not yet reported
before December 31 each year.
-
Internet Advancement accepts advancement upload
files from unit-management software.
-
If you have a scout earning advancement that is
not listed on your roster in ScoutNet. That scout needs to be
registered. Please turn in an application for the scout and a
separate advancement form that lists his advancement(s).
-
Changes and updates are not officially
recorded until the paperwork is submitted to the Council Office. It is
still required that advancement reports are turned into the council
office or the Scout Shop.
