Official Rank Change?

If a pack holds a Move Up ceremony in May because that is when our school year is officially over(year round school) when can the boys start working on the next rank? Some say June 1st, some say when the school year is over, some say when the pack advances them to the next rank.

 

What is the correct answer?

The official answer is that the next rank would begin once the school year ends. But packs can use any of a variety of conventions for this. In our district, we have many schools on a year-round schedule and many on a traditional schedule, so the Cubs don't all end at the same time. We hold an end-of-year picnic and move them up to the next rank then. I'd say - just pick a convention for your pack.

The reason why June 1 keeps coming up is because SCOUTNET, which is NATIONAL's. BSA need some national protocol since every school district has different start and end dates.

 

For example growing up we started school in mid August, and finished the 3rd week of May. here in NC they start in mid August, but with all the teacher workdays and vacation days, and snow days, they usually get out the second week of June.

 

FWIW, my pack moved up everyone the 3rd monday in May, when it has been traditionally done. HOWEVER SCOUTNET won't list them as the next level until 1 June.
