Advancement

 

Advancement is the method by which scouting promotes and encourages the ongoing involvement and commitment that keeps members coming back for more. It works best when it is built into a unit’s program so that simply participating leads to meaningful achievement and recognition and to a continually improving readiness for more complex experiences.
