Boy Scout Boards of Review
After a Boy Scout has completed the requirements for any rank, he appears before a board of review. Its purpose is to determine the quality of his experience and decide whether he has fulfilled the requirements for the rank.
Eagle Scout Boards of Review: At least one district or council representative must serve as a member of an Eagle Scout board of review.

Merit Badge Counselors
The merit badge counselor is a key player in the Boy Scout advancement program. Whatever your area of expertise or interest—whether it is a special craft or hobby (basketry, leatherwork, coin collecting), a profession (veterinary medicine, aviation, engineering), or perhaps a life skill (cooking, personal management, communications)—as a merit badge counselor, you can play a vital role in stirring a young man's curiosity about that particular topic. By serving as a merit badge counselor, you offer your time, knowledge, and other resources so that Scouts can explore a topic of interest. To become a merit badge counselor, the following must be completed:
BSA Adult Leader application: Anyone interested in being a merit badge counselor must fill out an application, even current leaders. The position code for a merit badge counselor is 42. There is no fee associated with being a merit badge counselor. - Merit Badge Counselor Interest Sheet: A counselor selects the merit badge they are interested in counseling.
- Youth Protection Training: All merit badge counselors must have current Youth Protection Training. Training can be taken at my.scouting.org.
All three forms should be submitted to the Tall Timbers District advancement chair or the Tall Timbers District merit badge counselor coordinator. Once a merit badge counselor is registered, they are a member of the district committee. They won't be listed on a troop recharter or any troop paperwork. So whenever possible, please help the district keep our roster current by sending updates to the district advancement chair or district merit badge coordinator.
