Rank 1 of 7
Scout
Scout is the first rank in Scouts BSA, earned by learning the Scout Oath and Law, the Scout motto and slogan, and the basics of patrol life — from a proper salute and handshake to the buddy system and personal safety awareness. It sets the foundation everything else in the program builds on.
