The following are the requirement for advancement through the ranks of Scouting, checklists, and resources. The workbooks are not required, but they can be helpful for the scout to keep track of progress and study as needed. 

Please note, sometimes the requirements change from the original. We will try to keep everyone updated as much as possible. However, we encourage the Scouts to double check the current requirements at https://www.scouting.org/programs/scouts-bsa/advancement-and-awards/.
