jkbhiker 10 Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Hello All, Our new Advancement Chairperson was looking through the piles of paperwork that our Pack has accumulated over its 10 year plus history. This paperwork includes copies of rank advancement and belt loop records. The scouts are now long gone from our Pack. Does anyone know how long we are supposed to hang on to this information? Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites
Bob White 20 Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 The Council is responsible for maintaining permanent records for perpetuity. Once the scout leaves the unit there is no need for the unit to retain any of his records. If you have individual records or summaries you should consider giving them to the parents to do with as they wish. Hope this helps, BW Link to post Share on other sites
cubbobwhite 10 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 The only paperwork I would even consider keeping for any length of time after a Cub had left the Packwould be any advancement reports that indicate Arrow of Light. And those only because there could be a need of verification by an perspective Eagle Scout that he was eligible to join the Boy Scouts when he did. And even those need only to be kept for no more than 8 years. CBW Link to post Share on other sites
