Scout Life magazine also has plans for a number of projects that you can create for the first class 3 requirement.

They would still be «legal» if the adult SSD took on the role of supervisor and lookout, but I wouldn`t.

When a Scout has met all the requirements of a rank, he or she must appear before a review committee. A review board is NOT the same as a Scoutmaster conference, but only with more people.

First class requirements may be dealt with together with soft foot and second class requirements; However, these ranks still need to be won one after the other.
