Hey guys Matt Gutman here and back is another video and today we're going to be covering how to get Scout

rank

part

1 so just a few side notes before we get into this video 1 if you're new to

scout

ing in general or if you are new. New to my channel, make sure you understand what this video is about and understand what my channel is. I've been in Boy Scouts for a while and I'm actually going to get old soon because at 18 it was mandatory. requirement to leave Boy Scouts, you can't be an adult and be in Boy Scouts as if I were a

part

icipating Scout, so I'm 16 years old and the goal of this channel is to try to become an Eagle Scout in less than two years, but for beginners . who are in the Scout

rank

, so I'm going to teach you some tips and also how to get the Scout rank, part one, so a couple of things beforehand in order to join Boy Scouts, you must or Scouts BSA, you must have completed the fifth. grade and be at least ten years old or you may have earned the air of light of Cub Scouts and be at least ten years old or he may be eleven years old and not yet eighteen, so those are the different categories that you could fall. to join Scouts BSA, so for the ranks there are seven of them, here are the seven, there is Scout rank, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class Star, Life Scout and Eagle Scout, so the Scout rank is one of the seven you can get and if you look to the left, the brown one which is the Scout rank and it's brown because that's the color originally but as of January 2016 it turned gold to match the others and it also came with a new set of requirements, so that was roughly it. three years ago and I'm going to show you the

first

requirement because you have to memorize a lot, there are seven requirements in total, but the

first

two are very separated where there is a large amount of Much of what you have to memorize, so in my Personal opinion, exploring is good because of the experience, it is an adventure, it also provides the amount of skills someone can learn and the effects it has on morale and everyday life.

That's just my personal opinion on why. I would join Scouts BSA or formerly known as Boy Scouts and the wide variety of achievements because there are many things you can do, many things you can earn and many things you can achieve, moving towards the requirements while working on the requirements. Oh, you always want to refer. Check the Boy Scout Handbook first when working on ranks, it will always be in the Boy Scout Handbook and if you're still not sure you can look it up on the internet or ask that fellow Scout, don't just get the requirement you need. be able to understand it too.

I've had many people who are second class in first class, those are third and fourth rank and they still can't perform simple objectives or simple tasks because they never understood what they were getting, they were just getting. That's why I need to be able to know what you're doing and you know you've learned it if you can teach that skill to someone else and help them understand it, so keep that in mind when you're working on these requirements, now the actual requirements. Number one, Scouts must repeat by heart the motto and law motto of the Scout Oath.

Now I could go on to the next requirement, but these are actually a very important part of the Boy Scouts because they're like, I guess you could say, the codes of conduct. that we follow, so you must be able to explain in your own words what they mean and, to do so, you must know what they are and understand what they mean, so the Scout Oath, let's get into the Scout Oath or promise is a I commit to help our community, our world and ourselves, and says the following. On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God, in my country, to obey the Scout law, to help other people at all times, to stay physically strong and mentally awake. and morally upright, so the

scout

oath is what

scouts

follow while carrying out their duties and obligations as boy

scouts

the scout law is a scout is trustworthy loyal helpful friendly courteous and obedient cheerful thrifty brave clean and reverent well that there are twelve words in total, you should be able to understand their individual meanings, what that word means, and how it applies to you and your time as a scout.

The scout motto. I will quote Sir Robert Baden-Powell, who was the founder of the Boy Scouts, he said. be prepared the meaning of the motto is that an explorer must prepare to think and practice beforehand how to act in any accident or emergency so that he has never been caught by surprise very well said it is self explanatory if you know what the word prepared means an explorer always be prepared scout motto do a good deed daily now if you look at the top right you can see on those rank patches the scroll there is a scroll on most of those ranks it is turned up in the shape of a smile to remind them to Scouts to do a good deed with joy and take a break, there is a lot of memorization from the beginning instead of cramming all these things and trying to understand them all because if you do that not only do you not work because studying is not something short term, Usually you want to be able to have it stuck in your mind so you know, so try playing a game with friends to memorize the words or do a troop activity and also read the manual.

There is also a Boy Scout Handbook, then add a new addition like every year, but it's still good to have at least a similar copy so you can better understand those skills, so look at the front of the hand, it will be. That was just the first subcategory of the first requirement. There is much more, so scouts must be explained what the scout spirit is. Describe some ways you have demonstrated the Scout spirit by practicing the Scout oath. The scout law. The motto and the scout motto. I need to know the requirement one first to do this and once again Scout Spirit which will be in the manual near the front one see demonstrate the Scout sign greeting and handshake and explain when they should be used for the Scout sign to show that you are a scout and every time you recite the scout oath and law you must do it at a 90 degree angle with your three fingers the scout salute is a sign of respect, you use it to salute the flag and you can use it to salute a scout leader, the Scout handshake is just a sign of friendship with your left hand and you have to firmly grab his hand and you only use this handshake when both people are in uniform so that's the scout sign, it has a salute and the shake of hands Scout, which What is your left hand?

Another thing to keep in mind is that during large ceremonies or congregations like this, everyone has to show the proper signs as to what they are reciting, so that is what we are doing in this giant ceremony here, okay, so this rank is the first class rank, this is the fourth rank and Boy Scouts, even 1d Scouts, must describe the first class badge and say what each part represents and explain the meaning of the first first class Scout badge, so this is one of the decisive points. points in Boy Scouts I'm not going to say why because I'll give the answer, but this is also on the cover of the book, so it's a day, repeat the outdoor code from memory in your own words, explain what the outdoor code means .

For you, I will tell you that the outside code is actually many don't know it and even if they know it, they have no idea what it means, just my own side note, it starts out similar to this Scout Oath applications, for what you should Know the difference between them because the Scout Oath starts with On my honor I will do my best and the external code starts with As an American I will do my best so they start similarly so try not to confuse them , here is the outdoor code as As an American, I will do my best to be clean in my outdoor manners, be careful of fire, consider any outdoor space, and have a conservation mindset, so once again , not many Scouts like to fully understand what this means and during the openings of my meetings when we recite this.

There's always that one Scout trying to lip sync with everyone because I don't know so make sure you know and the last requirement to be number one is to repeat the Pledge of Allegiance and your own words from memory. explain your meeting. I mean most public schools say the Pledge of Allegiance every day, but in case you don't know, here's the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and the Republic for which it represents. nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all and you can't just say the words you have to know the words so this is like the first requirement out of Scout rank there are seven in total as of 2019 there are there are seven of them, but numbers one and two have several things, as you can see in this video, number one had seven things and number two has like four and this is what the requirements generally are, there is one requirement, but there are subcategories for those requirements, so while we're working on the requirements for the Scout rank.

I recommend looking at the Mehrabad organization. It's a really useful site or can I get what the requirements are and offers useful tips online. It has helpful hints to help you learn the Scout rank and not one. more side note, it provides no benefit if these concepts go through someone's head, you need to know them, you need to know what they mean, know how it applies to Boy Scouts, so again, this was just requirement one, stay tuned when I do the second part which is giving leadership, the patrol method, how to tie knots and how to be safe online, those are just a quick overview of what the rest of the requirements are, but that's all Basic Scout should know when you join Boy Scouts and I.

I will explain them in another video, so thank you for watching my video on how to get Scout rank, part 1. If you enjoyed it, share it with other new Scouts you know to help them learn awesome, like the video for notifications on my channel and see you all in the next goodbye
