A primary purpose of the BOR was to get a chance for Committee Members (who were less integrated in troop activities back then) to get to know the Scouts and have a conversation about their experience....feedback on how the troop program was meeting their needs. Also it was a chance for encouragement and goal setting for the next steps. -

I have so many questions... How did the driver get out? The doors had to be pinned shut. The thing traveled 75 YARDS after impact?? Wish there was video of that. How were there no injuries? Lastly, how about the troop gets to keep the car and they call it even? -

I'll push back on @fred8033 that it's not a celebration. At least our BoR's don't throw confetti, play music, and serve pizza! It's still a review. And I have had them tell a scout to come back in a couple of weeks because something was not up to snuff. But, @Armymutt, it's no formality. It's also a great way to hear about troop life from the the scouts most engaged with the program. The job interview analogy is apt. Also, some of us had to give a statement of faith to become a proper member of their church. By the time I had to do that, I had completed several BoR's and some of my church's elders were on the board. I think that helped me to better engage with that process. Then there was Aunt Mary who loved to stir the pot at any family gathering. You weren't allowed to sit quietly in a corner around her. Yes, my BoR's help me keep my nerve in a hot-tempered Mediterranean family! I think it helped my sons too. When I had friends over for dinner, they would be impressed that our boys would stay at the table and participate in conversation. Their kids didn't experience the adult association that mine did through scouting. There are things that I think the advancement method has formalized unnecessarily (EDGE, bean-counting service hours, etc ...), but personal growth conferences are not one of them. If you are just jumping through hoops in SMC's and BoR's, you're doing it wrong.
