BSA Advancement list -- For getting all new scouts to 1st
|
|
Class in less than 1 year.
|
|
|
|
Please note -- Although these things are in numeric order, they do not
|
|
have to be done in the order I have placed them. I encourage the
|
|
changing of ideas of how to complete the requirements. If you can think
|
|
of a better way to complete the requirement, use it and let me know about
|
|
it so I can update this list.
