Advancement Binder

The personal Scout notebook is designed to help you keep your personal Scouting information organized.

Supplies Needed:

3 ringed binder
Plastic letter sized sport card (or trading card) holder (available at Target, Wal-Mart or sport shops)
Clear pocket pages for pictures and honor certificates
Notebook paper
Pocket pages to keep information on badges in progress

You can divide your binder into different sections. Below are some suggestions.

General Information: This section can include the Troop roster, important phone numbers, and names of other scouts you feel comfortable asking for help.
Rank Cards, Merit Badge Blue Cards and Award Cards: This is a very important section, as all Scouts are required to keep their own record of rank advancement. This is a good use for the sport card holder pages.
Activities Section: This section can include a log of activities attended, such as camps, service outing etc. This is where the Scout should keep a record of his troop involvement.
