There are seven ranks in Scouts BSA:

• Scout

• Tenderfoot

• Second Class

• First Class

• Star

• Life

• Eagle

To achieve each rank, there are several requirements that must be met. The last two requirements in each rank (except for Scout) are the Scoutmaster Conference and the Board of Review (BOR). Apart from those two, the rest of the requirements should be attainable with regular active participation in Troop activities (meetings, campouts, and service projects). The later ranks include requirements for leadership, as well. 

The advancement progression in Scouts BSA follows a logical sequence from the lowest rank, the Scout, to the highest rank of Eagle. During this progression, Scouts are expected, and will fulfill, more demanding requirements as they mature and grow older. In this way, the Scouts grow with the program and build confidence and competence. When a Scout is ready for advancement to a new rank, they need to have completed all the requirements for the rank and participate in a Scout initiated Scoutmaster's Conference. This can be held with any available ASM or Scoutmaster. Scouts should be courteous and contact a Scoutmaster before a meeting to arrange a Scoutmaster conference. 

After completing all requirements for a rank, and the Scoutmaster Conference, the Scout may request a Board of Review.
