New Policy - "Free Rank Advancement"

Hello Walton Trail!

As our District has grown over the past year we have seen an increase in overall rank advancements thanks in part to our Scouts continued dedication and hard work  and also in part to the work from our passionate volunteers! Thank you!


In an effort to continually provide a quality program for our Scouts, we reviewed the free rank program available to each unit. For many years if your unit was “100% Boys Life”, then you received free rank advancement for each Scout. We are changing the criteria for units to receive free rank advancement. The reason for the change is to create a greater focus on youth advancement, trained leaders and unit/council fundraising efforts. These criteria for free rank advancement are in alignment with the Unit’s Journey to Excellence requirements. Listed below are the new criteria for free Rank Advancement.



To receive free rank advancement your unit will need to meet/complete the following:

  1. Unit Recharters on time, turned in prior to deadline
  2. Achieve 95% of all leaders Youth Protection Trained
  3. Achieve 80% of Overall Leaders Trained for their specific position
  4. Annually hold Family Friends of Scouting presentation from a Council Representative
  5. Sell Popcorn during the Popcorn Sale
  6. Sell Camp Cards during the Camp Card Sale
