Rank Advancement ceremony for the 21st century?


Recommended Posts

Perhaps I'm not understanding the question.  Lots out there.

Lots out there...  Plus here are my words of advice.

  • Avoid native American themed ceremonies.  Times have changed.  Not everyone will be understanding. 
  • Create your own tradition ... advancing a patch on an advancement board ... scouts telling stories ... ask their most helpful leader (youth or adult) to pin the advancement rank ... lighting a candle on an advancement tree ... 
  • One word.  Food.   Our troop rotation was four COHs a year.  COH #1 (Jan/Feb/Mar) was family pot luck.   COH #2 (Apr/May/Jun) was troop grills meat and families bring sides.  COH #3 (Jul/Aug/Sep ... after summer camp) was bring your own.  COH #4 (Oct/Nov/Dec) was anothr family pot luck.  ... And then we had a December pizza party (not a COH).  ... LOL ... our scouts ate well.

As for "21st century" ... at some time, old comes back in style again.
