SueM 10 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I found this on our council website today and thougt it was worth passing on sue m. New First Class Requirement Beginning January 1, 2006, an additional requirement will be added to the requirements for First Class rank in Boy Scouting. Scouts beginning their First Class requirement work after this date must complete the new requirement. Scouts working on First Class requirements prior to this date will have until June 30, 2006, to complete First Class rank without completing the new requirements. The new requirement tests the candidate's persuasive communication skills and can help make Scouting available to more boys. It reads as follows: "Tell someone who is eligible to join Boy Scouts, or an inactibe Boy Scouts, about your troop's activities. Invite him to a troop outing, activity, service project, or meeting. Tell him how to join, or encourage the inactive Boy Scout to become active." The 2006 requirements book will be updated with this new information. All Scoutmasters were sent a DVD containing tools that young Scouts can use to asssist them in completing this requirement. Scouts can also find support for the completion of this requirement at www.thescoutzone.org. Link to post Share on other sites
scotiacat 10 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 So basically, National wants to try and increase they Scout numbers. All a kid has to do is say he tried and the other party wasn't interested. The Scout "did his best", but the other boy wasn't interested in joining or coming to Scouts.
