What Happens at a Board of Review
You are the main character in your Scouting story. The adults sitting on your Board of Review will be interested in hearing all about your experience as a Scout, the roses, buds and the thorns. They will ask you question to help guide you in telling the story of how you have grown through Scouting.
Importantly, the Board of review is not a retest of the skills learned during the rank. Questions like "Demonstrate how to tie a square knot" do not appear during a Board of Review.
Arrive prepared, be respectful, be honest, and talk about your Scouting journey
