Easy Access Standard of Online Advancement

Use Internet Advancement (IA) to record and update awards and rank to unit records from any online location, including at home or at the office. It's an easy process with direct access to unit advancement information.

Review records and submit advancement reports each month to ensure Scouts receive credit for their efforts. To ensure your Scouts records are complete, before the end of each December, submit a final report with anything not already recorded for the year.

Two copies of your online advancement report are required to purchase recognition items. The printouts replace a multi-part form, and two copies are needed to process these records.
