Since scouts can not always make every troop meeting, or sometimes miss a
campout, the instruction on a rank advancement might be missed. This
video library is intended as a way to access training 24/7 from anywhere in
the world. It also provides scouts with a chance to "read up" on a rank
advancement issues before training is formally conducted. In order to
view any of the videos on this page you will need to have the Adobe Flash
player installed.
