  6. Transitioning: 2017 Starting January 1 2017 All Scouts MUST use the new requirements regardless of rank.

  7. Highlights: Scout Rank Scout, previously a badge is now a rank. Contains some requirements that were Tenderfoot and First Class requirements.

  8. Highlights: Camping Number of camping nights has increased: • Tenderfoot: One since joining (no change) • Second Class: Three since joining (+1) • First Class: Six since joining (+2) • Star, Life, & Eagle: No Change

  9. Highlights: Service Hours Number and type of service hours has changed: • Tenderfoot: One hour (+1 hour) • Second Class: Two hours (+1 hour) • First Class: Three hours (+3 hour) • Star: Six hours (No Change) • Life: Six hours: At least 3 hours conservation • Eagle: Project (No Change)

  10. Highlights: Physical Fitness Emphasis on being physically active: • Tenderfoot: • Show improvement walking or running one mile (up from ¼ mile) • Added stretching • Pull-ups and long jump have been dropped • Second Class and First Class: • Be physically active at least 30 minutes each day for five days a week for four weeks. • Star, Life, & Eagle: No Change

  11. Highlights: Duty to God Every rank starting with Tenderfoot now has “Tell how you have done your duty to God …” as part of demonstrating Scout spirit. • The idea is for the Scout to have a self-reflection about belief and reverence. • The troop leader or charter organization beliefs do not establish a standard for the Scout. • A Scout’s declaration that he does not believe in God is grounds to deny rank advancement and could affect his continued membership in the troop.
