# Complete Scoutmaster conference

Part of the Second Class guide: [Introduction & Overview](https://scouting.university/scouts-bsa/ranks/second-class/guide/index.md)

*Advancement & Review*

> **11.** While working toward the Second Class rank, and after completing Tenderfoot requirement 10, participate in a Scoutmaster conference.

You've now [sat through a Scoutmaster conference once already, for Tenderfoot](https://scouting.university/scouts-bsa/ranks/tenderfoot/guide/req10/), so the format is familiar: a one-on-one conversation, not a test. What's different this time is the content you're bringing to it.

## What's Different at Second Class

Where your Tenderfoot conference covered your first full rank of skills, this one reviews everything across Second Class's twelve requirements — camping, cooking, navigation, wildlife, aquatics, first aid, fitness, citizenship, personal safety, and Scout spirit. Expect questions rooted in specifics: the fire you actually built, the hike you actually took, the hazards you actually saw.

## Getting Ready

- Review each requirement and be ready to talk about what you actually did.
- Bring your activity log from [requirement 1a](https://scouting.university/scouts-bsa/ranks/second-class/guide/req1a/), your fitness log from [requirement 7a](https://scouting.university/scouts-bsa/ranks/second-class/guide/req7a/), and any notes from your earning plan in [requirement 8c](https://scouting.university/scouts-bsa/ranks/second-class/guide/req8c/).
- Think through your Scout spirit examples from [requirement 10](https://scouting.university/scouts-bsa/ranks/second-class/guide/req10/) ahead of time.

> **Tip**
>
> This requirement specifically comes after Tenderfoot requirement 10 — confirm that conference is complete before scheduling this one.
