Advancement

The ﬁrst three ranks are oriented toward learning and
practicing skills that will help the Scout develop conﬁdence
and ﬁtness, challenge his thought processes, introduce him
to his responsibilities as a citizen, and prepare him for an
exciting and successful Scouting experience. Requirements
for Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class may be passed
at any time after the joining requirements have been met.
