YOUR SCOUT RECORD BOOK
This information is provided to help you organize and retain records
which will document your progress in Scouting. When Scouts misplace
rank advancement or merit badge cards, it is difficult to document
achievements and in some cases the Scout may have to repeat the
work. A record book is also a convenient place to place projects
in progress. It will become invaluable when you have a Board of
Review, particularly for the higher ranks. The records you retain
can also be used with your application for the Eagle Rank. Finally,
your parents will find it a worthwhile aid when reviewing your
advancement plans.
Sections of a binder might be:
- Calendars, notices of special events and other items of current
interest.
- Maps, lists, or anything else you write in completion of rank
or merit badge requirements.
- Plastic pockets which you should use to hold cards of advancement.
When you receive a rank advancement or merit badge at a Court
of Honor save the attached card and store it in the plastic
holder
- Your own use. Many Scouts save pictures of fun on campouts,
pictures of finished projects, records of service projects
and special mementos such as Camporee patches, special awards
and more.
You should retain your Scout record book throughout your Scouting
career. Then, put it in a safe place for you will treasure it
in your later years as a great way to remember the fun and adventure
you had in Boy Scouting.
