How to Become a Boy Scout




MEET AGE REQUIREMENTS.

COMPLETE A BOY SCOUT APPLICATION AND HEALTH HISTORY SIGNED BY YOUR PARENT OR GUARDIAN.

FIND A SCOUT TROUP NEAR YOUR HOME.

REPEAT THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

DEMONSTRATE THE SCOUT SIGN, SALUTE, AND HANDSHAKE.

DEMONSTRATE TYING THE SQUARE KNOT (a joining knot).

UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO LIVE BY THE SCOUT OATH OR PROMISE, LAW, MOTTO, AND SLOGAN, AND THE OUTDOOR CODE.

DESCRIBE THE SCOUT BADGE.

COMPLETE THE PAMPHLET EXERCISES.

PARTICIPATE IN A SCOUTMASTER CONFERENCE.

        After you finish the joining requirements, your Scoutmaster will want to have a conference with you.  He or she will also sit down and talk with you after you finish the requirements for each Scout rank. These Scoutmaster conferences are opportunities for you to review how you are doing and to look ahead with your Scoutmaster toward what happens next in your life as a Scout. You can ask questions, share what you like about being a Scout, and together figure out ways it can be even better.
