Scout BSA Ranks
The Beginner and Swimmer test requirements for the 2nd Class and 1st Class ranks respectively have been made optional to complete the rank. These requirements will not be used in the Percent Complete calculations. The SUAC recommends leaders add a note to the Scout’s next rank indicating the swim test still needs to be passed.
