New Boy Scout Handbook:

Also, the Brand New Twelveth Edition of the Boy Scout Handbook has been released.  There are changes in requirements for most scout ranks. 

These new requirements must be put to use as of January 1, 2009.  From page 443 of the new handbook:

 

"The rank requirements in this book are official as of January 1, 2010. 

If a Scout has started work toward a rank before that date using requirements that were current before January 1, 2010, he may complete that rank only using the old requirements.  Any progress toward a rank that is begun after January 1, 2010, must use the requirements as they are presented in this Handbook or in the Boy Scout Requirements book."

 

Some quick examples of the changes (not a complete summary):

Scout Spirit requirement is better defined for all ranks EDGE Teaching skills demonstration is required for Tenderfoot and Life Scout Ranks Second & First Class Swimming test requirements can NO LONGER be waived by the troop committee.

 

Two new positions of responsibility options for Star & Life: Webmaster and Leave No Trace Trainer
