Reporting internet advancement is a requirement of the Boy Scouts of America. All units should select an advancement processor who is granted access with a council provided unit ID. It is recommended that units report advancements monthly to ensure timely credit for a youth's achievements.Click Here!

All advancement must be reported to local councils. This is important in keeping member records up to date and it assures an accurate count in the Journey to Excellence performance recognition program.
