Good morning. I am advancement chair for both the troop and pack in our area. While looking at the records for the troop, I saw a notice that two scouts were not approved for their Webelos or Arrow of Light. I approved them (as their Webelos leader), so I’m not sure where this fell through. The message is “Scouting America believes that youth deserve recognition for their accomplishments as soon as possible (per Guide to Advancement). We noticed that these youth(s) have completed the following advancement in another Scouting program. Please encourage the youth to talk with their unit leader for advancement approval.” I don’t see any way to “approve” them at the pack or troop level.
If you provide the Scouting America Member IDs (no names please!) for the relevant scouts, the SUAC volunteers may be able to investigate.
Thanks, the scouts in question have the following IDs:
14635750
136779666
@RussellMcginley It looks like those ranks are not marked as Approved. If you contact your local council, they should be able to approve them. If needed, they can submit a help ticket to National.
I’ll try that. Thanks.
