Advancement Process
Merit badges and rank may be earned by any registered Boy Scout or Varsity Scout until their eighteenth birthday. Venturers and Sea Scouts who earned First Class as a Boy Scout or Varsity Scout may continue to work towards Eagle Scout in their crew or ship until age eighteen.
As the last requirement for each rank except the joining Scout badge, each Scout must go through the Scoutmaster's conference and then a board of review.
