[Bobwhite Blather] 2017 Advancement Updates

[Bobwhite Blather Scouting Blog]

There's a new item at Bobwhite Blather: '2017 Advancement Updates'

January first is usually a significant day in the advancement process. Most rank
and merit badge requirement changes become effective as of the first of the
year. New Year's Day in 2016 marked significant and sweeping changes in Boy
Scout requirements. Most ranks saw changes or an overhaul, and Scout was added
as an official rank and not just the joining requirement. The permissive period
started January 1, 2016, meaning that Scouts who were working toward a rank
could continue to use the old requirements until they completed that rank, but
had to use the new requirements if they started after that date. As of January
1, 2017, all Scouts have to use the new requirements.

Possibly less noticed were the requirement changes that took effect January 1,
2017. Yes, there were a few - some you probably didn't hear about - but they are
worth noting.
