bnelon44 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 What are some of the most common advancement questions you have heard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle92 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 "How long will it take for my son to get Eagle?" "Why would I want him involved with/doing ________ (take you pick NYLT, OA, Jamboree, etc) when it will take off track to getting Eagle?" "Why can't my son join Boy Scouts now since he earned ________ ( you pick a number up to 20) activity badges, Webelos Badge, and Arrow of Light over the summer?" Ok last one was a paraphrase, but you get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewmeister Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Well, the answer to the last one would most likely be "he can." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdlscouting Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 How do Bear Rank Requirements count as Electives sometimes and as requirements other times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattlePioneer Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 d then there are the questions you rarely hear, such as "Would you like me to be the Advancement Chair for the Troop/Pack?" "Can I contact neighboring Cub Packs for you and see if they have Webelos Dens that would like to go on our Troop hike?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle92 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Brew, Actually no he couldn't and I probably should have given more detail. The Webelos in question should have been in 4th grade, but was still in 3rd, and had "earned" all the awards I mentioned over the summer after finishing Bear with his parents signing off on the stuff. Parents should have known better since they were the CM and CC of the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
