THREE IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS REGARDING ADVANCEMENT!
1) RAZORBACK IS RAISING THE BAR FOR EAGLE SCOUTS
Beginning January1, 2009 Razorback District will no longer accept hand written Eagle Scout Project Workbooks or applications. In this world of technology there is no longer reason to handwrite these documents. If you do not have a computer, some suggestions are to use a friends,relatives, or neighbors, go to the public library, or use the computer that is available at the Springdale Scout Shop. (more)
2) YEAR END ADVANCEMENT REPORTING
All advancements earned in a calendar year must be entered through the on-line advancement process by the end of December of that calendar year.
If you have a Court of Honor in March for awards earned sometime the year before, they will never show up on an advancement report if entered after the end of the year as reports are closed and date sensitive. It is very important for your troop, your district and your council to have accurate advancement figures. If you don't have good advancement figures you will have commissioners and me knocking on your door. You don't have to purchase the awards in December, just have them all entered. I know it's one more thing but its very important. Thank you so much for your cooperation.
3) REGISTER YOUR MERIT BADGE COUNSELORS!
We have revised the Merit Badge Counselor registration system! Please read carefully. (more)
