Advancement Chair

The advancement chair helps Cub Scouts move through the ranks and transition into a Scouts BSA troop. The advancement chair will:

• Have a working knowledge of the Cub Scout advancement plan.

• Help plan and conduct induction and advancement recognition ceremonies.

• Coordinate with the Webelos leader and Scoutmaster for meaningful transition/graduation ceremonies from Cub Scouting to a troop.

• Educate parents, guardians, and pack committee members in ways to stimulate Cub Scout advancement.

• Promote the use of Cub Scout den advancement charts and other tools to recognize and record advancement in the den.

• Collect den advancement reports at pack leaders’ meetings for use when ordering badges and insignia from the local council service center. This can be done with Scoutbook.

• Promote Boys’ Life magazine as an aid to advancement.

• Help build or obtain advancement equipment for use in making advancement ceremonies more effective.

• Promote the wearing and proper use of uniform and insignia.
