SCOUTS (and parents), Now is the time to check your records in Scoutbook  If you don’t have access to Scoutbook, please ask your parents to grant you access.  You can see your BSA ID #, rank, completed merit badges, leadership position, patrol, contact information (parents, address, phone number), to name a few details in your record. PLUS THIS GIVES YOU AN IDEA WHAT AWARDS YOU WILL BE RECEIVING DURING THE FALL COH. IF IT ISN'T APPROVED, it isn't going to be presented. 
Plus, it is good to check this information during your scout journey so that you are familiar with these records (and the records are correct) when you start work towards Eagle.  Questions?  Please reach out to the Advancement Chair.
