Uniform: The Scout is to have his

Class A shirt, tucked in,
neckerchief (with a slide),
jeans (blue or black), or short pants (tan, green, khaki, gray, or black), but no basketball shorts or sweats, and
shoes (no open-toed shoes or flipflops).

The Scout is to be prepared for the Board. He should be able to discuss everything he has done for this rank and the previous ones.

Notes from 3/1/16 meeting with Commissioner

Boards of Review- ways we do them are guidelines

Questions about what we can ask on a BOR:

Who should be on them and when should we hold them:

Committee members run it
ASM can sit in but not if you have done sign off’s with the Scout’s
Higher Rank Scouts can sit in but listen only for learning
It’s recommended that BOR are ... scheduled by the Advancement Chairman.
We talked about maybe once a month. Not at an outdoor meeting?
It was recommended that BOR’s be held separately from troop meetings - for example, to be held on the Tuesdays each month we don’t have a regular meeting.

Scoutmasters Conference:

Should be a catch point to address whether a Scout is ready to have their BOR.
Address: Character, un-scout like conduct, unpreparedness, etc…
2 Adult Leaders for accountability and to train adults on the how-to’s
Conferences are meant to be more formal than how we currently do them
Go through Scout Handbook and ask questions, but not retesting
We’ve had several Scouts that have come in with a requirement not signed off previous. This shouldn’t be found in the BOR.
