Tenderfoot: Board of Review Questions

What do you like best about Scouting?

This is a very simple question at all ranks, but your answers take on depth as you advance and have more experiences in Scouting. At the rank of Tenderfoot your answer might be as simple as: "the community and friendships I'm developing." At the rank of Tenderfoot I most loved the opportunity to spend more time camping.

What do you dislike about Scouting?

Take this question seriously. At all levels your answer to this question may have an impact of the direction of your troop and/or patrol. Answer this question with a positive note, however, because your attitude is always an essential element to your growth in the troop. For example, "What I dislike most is the lack of programs for kids to earn merit badges. If more programs were offered then I could advance more quickly and more kids in our troop could reach Eagle Scout."

What do you think is the most fun part of Scouting?

Instead of saying something silly like, "BUILDING FIRES!," try something like,"developing my outdoor skills such as firebuilding and first aid."

What kinds of tents have you used? Which is your favorite? Why?

Not only tell them why you liked this particular tent, but also what things you think could be improved upon and what you'll be looking for in your next tent. This shows critical thinking and dedication to your advancement.

What work have you done towards your Second Class rank?

List at least 3 things you've done or are working on currently. Never say, "Nothing," or "I don't know!" Are you currently working on Eagle Scout as well? Of course you are...how?
