Effective January 1, 2006, an additional
requirement will be added to the requirements
for First Class rank in Boy Scouting. The new
requirement tests the candidate's persuasive
communication skills and can help to make
Scouting available to more boys.
"Tell someone who is eligible to join Boy
Scouts, or an inactive Boy Scout, about tour
troop's activities. Invite him to a troop
outing, activity, service project, or meeting.
Tell him how to join, or encourage the inactive
Boy Scout to become active."
Scouts beginning their First Class requirements
work after this date must complete the new
requirement. Scouts working on First Class
requirements prior to this date will have until
June 30, 2006, to complete First Class rank
without completing the new requirement.
The Boy Scout Handbook and 2006 Boy Scout
Requirements book will be updated with this new
detail. Scouts can find support for completing
this requirement on the Boy Scouts of America
website,
www.thescoutzone.org
 .
