How many Packs award ranks at BnG?

[Greg Nelson 10]

I don't think it has EVER been up to the den leader to get their boys to earn their ranks at the same time, or at all. Now, in practice, it's probably a good idea to have your den doing quite a bit of advancement work. But in the end, it's the responsibility of the Scout and his family to get the job done.

 

Back in my Cub Scout days (mid-70s), Wolf, Bear, Webelos were all based on birthdays, not on school year. (This was NOT an LDS pack.) Because of this, ranks were being awarded every month. Crossovers also happened on a continual basis.

 

Anyway, that's how I remember it. But we didn't even have a B & G back in the day.

Greg, the pre-BnG day would have been before the early 40's not the early 70's!

 

You need a little vacation - you seem to be feeling your age! Actually, you seem to be feeling your parents' age!!
