Troop 17 is requiring each scout to purchase a 2010 scout handbook which has been updated with new rank requirements. This book can be purchased in the Greensboro scout office or at Graham Sporting goods in Burlington. All scouts of troop 17 will need to complete the 2010 requirements for their next rank advancement. Several of the new requirements deal with E.D.G.E. (Explain, Demonstrate, Guide & Enable) leadership skills from the rank of Tenderfoot to Eagle and we will discuss these changes at our meeting this Tuesday. 2010 BSA requirements: http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/BoyScouts/AdvancementandAwards.aspx Handbook website: http://www.bsahandbook.org/ This information can also be found on our troop website under the advancement tab.
