Units can now submit advancement for unit youth members online.
Use Internet Advancement for the following:
• Add ranks, merit badges, and awards
• Update information on existing advancements (excepting the Eagle Scout rank).
To use Internet Advancement
1. Select the unit advancement processor. This person must have
Internet connectivity and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
2. Obtain a unit ID code from the council. The unit advancement processor
attends a roundtable, and can obtain the unit ID code there. They may also
contact the council office to obtain their ID code.
3. Gather information for advancement, including merit badge applications and
advancement records with dates.
4. Click Internet Advancement on this page. Follow the instructions in Internet
Advancement to process advancements and print an advancement report.
5. Have the appropriate people sign the printed unit advancement report and
submit it to the council. Save a copy for your files.
Units should submit monthly before the end of each month, or more often if needed. In December, submit a report before the end of the month to update your unit and council statistics.
Units Using Selected Software
If your unit uses Troopmaster, Scoutmate, Rank N' File, or ScoutSoft, the council office will perform a one-time upload of your unit's data to "catch up" the national record system to the unit's current state. You will need to produce a file using your software and provide that to the council office for that upload.
