Scoutmaster Conferences & Boards of Review
Each time a Scout completes requirements to advance in rank, the scout presents themselves dressed in Field uniform for a Scoutmaster Conference and a Board of Review.
These conferences normally occur during regular troop meetings. The Scoutmaster Conference is a meeting between the Scout and the Scoutmaster; and provides an opportunity to review the scout's progress and future goals.
After the Scoutmaster's Conference (generally the same evening), the scout has his Board of Review, which is a conference between the Scout and a group of 3 or more adult leaders, where a similar discussion takes place.
After these conferences, the Scout is advanced to the next rank and is presented with the new rank insignia at the next Court of Honor awards ceremony.
