Andy on Eagle and Other Recognitions

Posted by admin under: recognition .

The latest AskAndy column over at netcommish.com has a lot of questions and answers about Eagle rank, adult leader recognitions, and other advancement. Andy had some advice regarding 3 new knots.

Hey Andy,

Do you know where I can pick up a score card for the new training knots that are shown in the Jan-Feb 2009 “Scouting” magazine? These would be the Speakers Bank Award, Philmont Training Award, and Doctorate of Commissioner Science Award. (Erick Hudson, Gulf Coast Council, FL)

By “score card,” I’m assuming you mean Progress Record, á la Scouter’s Training Award, Key, etc. Here’s where to go for the requirements for these:

Speakers Bank: usscouts.org/awards/speakers-bank.asp

Philmont Masters Track: usscouts.org/awards/Philmont.asp

Doctorate of CS: scouting.org/Commissioners/resources.aspx

Like many other BSA recognitions (e.g., Distinguished Commissioner), these have no Progress Record, and I’ll hazard a guess that there won’t be any. So, if you’re interested in any or all of these, just download and put the requirements you want into a write-able file (e.g., MSWord).
