Great BSA Board of Review Resource

I just found a great resource for adult Scout leaders that I never knew about! Check out: http://scoutmaster.org/

What I like most is all the info about how to conduct a Board of Review and Board of Review Questions. I suggest you young Scouts out there review these questions and prepare yourself for your Board of Review. Especially if you're going for Eagle Scout soon! Remember the Scout motto: "Be Prepared."

Here are the supplemental questions that I'll be blogging about one by one:
