My Oldest Son has been in Cub Scouts/Boy Scouts for along time now, and I'm always proud of him when he earns another Rank Advancement or Merit Badge (that is probably due to the fact that I'm a Cub Scout leader and the Advancement Chair for the Pack and therefore know how hard the boys work to earn these achievements!)
Well, my Oldest has earned his next rank: First Class
There are 6 rank badges to be earned as a Boy Scout, and they are usually divided into 2 groups. The 1st 3 badges are Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class: These 3 badges are earned by learning Scout skills such as knot tying, camping skills, first aid, hiking skills, swimming skills, etc. My son has now earned these 3 badges. His next goal is to earn the next 3 rank badges: Star Scout, Life Scout, and EAGLE. These badges concentrate on leadership skills, merit badges (each badge concentrates on an interest such as law, boating, or space exploration to name 3 out of 120 possible), service projects, and preparing the boys to take on their Eagle Projects. This is called the Road to Eagle!
Congratulations Son!
