I was a scout for quite a while and I don’t remember any of these Board of Reviews or passing anything. Is this something that has been added? Maybe it is much tougher being a Scout today then in the late 70’s to mid 80’s when I went through. Yieks….it just sounds so difficult. lol.

They're not really difficult . . . but can be stressful on a Scout just because the idea of appearing before adults can be stressful.

At the lower ranks, the BOR basically consists of reviewing the rank requirement to see if the Scout met the requirements, but in a casual way, such as asking them what they cooked for their patrol instead of pressing whether they cooked.

Usually, you'll ask the Scout what he enjoys about Scouting, and what he's working on.
