Re: Advancement (blue cards)

The three parts of the "blue card" are labeled "Counselor's Record",
Applicant's Record", and "Application for Merit Badge". HOWEVER, on the other
side of the "Application for Merit Badge" it says at the bottom: "Applicant
will turn in this portion to his unit leader for record posting." This
"Application" part is the unit record intended for the unit to use to post the
merit badge and retain as proof.

The Advancement Form (4403 I believe) which is used to report advancement to
your council/district (and which has a "grocery list" of awards to purchase on
the reverse), has three parts labeled "Council Copy", "District Copy" and
"Unit Copy". If someone obtains the awards in person, usually that person
retains the unit copy turning in the first two. If you do it through the mail
or some other extended process, the unit copy should still end up with the unit.
