Scoutmaster Podcast 149

Opening joke about parents sending boys on wilderness survival weekends but not letting them go to the mall alone.

Clarke notes the panel discussion is recorded and in editing, but is being held for next month so as not to interrupt the ongoing advancement series.

Fourth installment of the advancement series: a Scout is reviewed — covering Scoutmaster conferences and boards of review, including key guidance from the Guide to Advancement 2011.

Anonymous sender asks about troop record-keeping; Clarke explains that keeping advancement records is a unit committee responsibility and that losing a blue card should not require a Scout to redo a merit badge.
