that would be correct no matter what rank Tenderfoot-First class as of the first of jan they have to complete the additional requirements for the rank level they are working on.

I am in the United States. In the first class section of the book Pages 152-163 from 160-161 are survival skills where you jump into water with your clothes on and use them for a flotation device. the father says they dont have to do that requirement at all as part of the first class advancement but on our individual boy scout record sheet it is listed as a requirement. thankyou and i dont know how to change the subject once its up there

I went to council to ask a question in the first class requirements on water survival skills and do they need to be fulfilled they could not give me an answer on it. But while asking the ? he informed me that as of Jan 1 2008 there were new requirements in the books for tenderfoot thru 1st class that the scout is required to fullfill in order to advance to the next rank. so no matter what rank they are as of 1st jan 2008 they have to do the additonal requirements

I have a scout in our troop whos parents have refused for him to do the water survial skills that are in the first class requirements. His father says it is not mandatory for that requirement to be done. Looking at the individual Boy scout record sheet it is listed on there. is he right?
