Attention All Scouts and Parents
The Advancement
Table will be offering Boards of Review, Scoutmaster Conferences,
and Skills testing at every Regular Troop Meeting. We will now
conduct these operations every Monday by appointment only! Please
contact Mrs. Campbell by phone oradvancement@troop205bsa.org for

Monday before you wish to have a Board of Review.
Here is what you will need to do:
1. All requirements for rank advancement
complete and signed.
2. Scout Spirit Form fully completed before you
ask for appointment.
3. Scout
Reflections Form fully completed before you ask for
appointment.
4. Schedule an appointment.
5. Show up at agreed time with proper Class A
Uniform and above listed materials.
6. Advancement table will assign you to a
Skills test panel, Scoutmaster conferance, and Review Board once you
arrive and get checked in.
7. Pass your Board of Review and you will
receive your Badge at the next regular meeting.
Exceptions to this program are:
1. Per Troop 205 policy all monies past due
must be paid up to date or have arrangements in place to have
paid.
2. Eagle candidates must request appointment
two weeks in advance after being cleared by Mr.
