Troop 4774 Active Policy
For a Scout to advance in rank, a Scout must be a Member in Good Standing with the Troop. To be a Member in Good Standing, the Scout should be active in the Troop according to these guidelines: Active is 50% of troop meetings and at least 4 campouts per year. For the majority of scouts on the path toward Eagle these requirements should be of little concern since they will already be participating at a high level with the troop. If, since the Scout’s last rank advancement, the Scout’s participation level has fallen below 50% of the Troop Participation guidelines, then the Scout should increase her participation level to bring her overall participation level to at least 50% of the Troop’s participation guideline since her last rank advancement before she will be considered a Member in Good Standing.
Note: For the rank of Star, Life and Eagle (4 months for Star, and 6 months for Life, and 6 months for Eagle) to fulfill the “Active Participation” requirement for the rank, the Scout should be active at the Troop Active Participation Guideline level i.e., 50% of Meetings, and 4 campouts per year. Example: It has been 24 months since the Scout’s last rank advancement and during that period of time there have been 22 outings, and 72 meetings, for the Scout to have met the Troop’s Active Participation Guideline (50% of Meetings and 4 campouts per year), she should have attended at least 8 Outings, and 36 Meetings.
