BOY SCOUT TRANSITONS

Entire Unit Transition – church must meet current chartering requirements.

Adult Leaders – must meet the same criteria as current Royal Rangers leaders & enroll and complete

the Outpost Leaders Advancement Levels.

Uniforms – Royal Rangers uniforms are to be used. BSA patches are not to be worn on RR uniforms.

BOY SCOUT TRANSITONS

Advancements –To help Boy Scouts transition into Royal Rangers, credit for each Scout merit earned Will be credited toward advancement in Royal Rangers as elective silver skill merits. This will also be true when a young man has earned A Boy Scout merit Royal Rangers does not offer. Boy Scout merits can be applied toward Advancement in Adventure Rangers (6th- ‐8th) or Expedition Rangers (9th- ‐12th) at the time He transitions into Royal Rangers. A merit-for merit exchange is not done.

Example 1: High school Boy Scout transitions with 6 skill BSA merits. He will receive ‘credit’ for six silver merits. Example 2: One of the merits is the cycling merit. He will not receive the RR cycling merit, just credit for a silver merit. If he later does the requirements for the cycling merit he can receive the RR merit.

BOY SCOUT TRANSITONS

Cub Scouts & Webelos. Webelos (4th-5th grade) may have their activity badges credited for blue skill merits in the Discovery Rangers.

No Equivalency exists for Cub Scouts or Tiger Cubs.

Example 3: The boy is a middle school student transferring into Adventure Rangers. His merits will be credited as green skill merits.

Venture Scouts. Boys Only. The same transition plan as Boy Scouts. Also a silver merit credit in Expedition Rangers for each of the eight core requirements and/or electives completed.

BOY SCOUT TRANSITONS

Policy on Time of Transition and Duplicate Requirements

When a scout transitions to Royal Rangers, the equivalency (crediting) will ONLY be established at the time he joins, not later or concurrently.

This encourages the boy to get on with the Royal Rangers system and not be distracted with prior work.

When Royal Rangers requirements are similar to previous work done in the BSA, the young man should be asked to demonstrate their knowledge by repeating duplicate requirements.

BIBLE MERITS

- Bible merits have changed from “named books of the Bible” to “numbered” orange or brown merits.

- Old way required 24 orange and 24 brown Bible merits.

- New way requires 12 orange and 12 brown (one per advancement).

- Three extra orange and brown merits available for “buffalos.”

- Old way required completion of five lessons from a particular book of the RR Orange/Brown Bible lessons to earn the “named” merit.

- New way requires completion of eight lessons from a combination of RR Orange/Brown Bible lessons to earn respective “numbered” merit.
