Board of Reviews: Why Have Them

[Eagle94-A1]

So if current Advancement guidelines say the BOR "In most cases it should, instead, be a celebration of accomplishment. Remember, it is more about the journey." p55 GTA 8.0.1.1 Not a Retest or “Examination”, Then why have them?

 

Apparently that is the opinion of one troop that is still around, and another troop that has folded. Found that out tonite when I was talking to my Scouts. One of them has never had a BOR, and he is Second Class.  The other remembers a Tenderfoot BOR when he was in  the troop originally, but did not have one for Second Class through Life. Which explains how the Life Scout skipped through the cracks.

Very frustrated.
