Before the Conference

•Review this entire page so that you are prepared for your conference
•See the Rank Requirements below, and please practice them and make sure you will be able to demonstrate them at the conference

•Wear FULL uniform: Scout shirt w/ patches, Scout pants/shorts, Scout socks, neckerchief, and closed-toe shoes. T30 vest not required.
•Your scout handbook
•A parent or other adult to stay with you the whole time

•What is a Scoutmaster Conference? — A conference with scout and scoutmaster held before earning each rank. It is a check to make sure the senior scouts are doing a good job teaching & signing off requirements. Includes sign-off of the Scout Spirit requirement and a check on how the scout is enjoying Scouting.
•Uniform check — Shirt (patches, emblems, “30”), pants, socks. We do not have a troop hat. Troop 30 provides the neckerchief and slide.
•Rank Requirements review — Scout #1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f, 2c, 2d, 3a, 4a, 4b, 6
•Advancement procedure for Tenderfoot, Second Class, & First Class — Signoff of requirements is done by senior scouts. You must advance ranks sequentially, but requirements do not need to be completed in order — you can even advance multiple ranks at once. When all requirements except for the final 3 are complete, request a Scoutmaster Conference. Scout Spirit is signed off at the conference; Board of Review is typically conducted during troop meetings.
•General discussion — Are you liking Scouts? What was your favorite event and why? How are troop meetings? Is there anything you are looking forward to? Any ideas for new activities?
