Units can now submit advancement for unit youth members
online. Use Internet Advancement for the following:
- Add ranks, merit badges, and awards
- Update information on existing advancements (excepting
the Eagle Scout rank)
To use Internet Advancement:
- Select the unit advancement processor. This person
must have Internet connectivity and Microsoft Internet Explorer. (We apologize,
this restriction is set by the National Council implementation. Mac and Linux
users, please use virtualization software to get around this browser limitation.
We will continue to address our concerns on this point to National to try
to get them to implement a broader solution.)
- Obtain a unit ID code from the council. The unit
advancement processor attends an April roundtable, and can obtain the unit
ID code there.
- Gather information for advancement, including merit
badge applications and advancement records with dates.
- Click Internet Advancement on this page. Follow the
instructions in Internet Advancement to process advancements and print an
advancement report.
- Have the appropriate people sign the printed
unit advancement report and submit it to the council. Save a copy for your
files.
Units should submit monthly before the end of each month, or more often if
needed. In December, submit a report before the end of the month to update
unit and council statistics.
