7. Advancements –To help Boy Scouts transition into Royal Rangers,
BOY SCOUT TRANSITONS
Advancements –To help Boy Scouts transition into Royal Rangers,
credit for each Scout merit earned Will be credited toward
advancement in Royal Rangers as elective silver skill merits. This
will also be true when a young man has earned A Boy Scout merit
Royal Rangers does not offer. Boy Scout merits can be applied
toward Advancement in Adventure Rangers (6th-­‐8th) or Expedition
Rangers (9th-­‐12th) at the time He transitions into Royal Rangers.
A merit-for merit exchange is not done.
Example 1: High school Boy Scout transitions with 6 skill BSA merits.
He will receive ‘credit’ for six silver merits.
Example 2: One of the merits is the cycling merit. He will not receive
the RR cycling merit, just credit for a silver merit. If he later does
the requirements for the cycling merit he can receive the RR merit.

8. Cub Scouts & Webelos. Webelos (4th-5th grade) may have their
BOY SCOUT TRANSITONS
Example 3: The boy is a middle school student transferring into
Adventure Rangers. His merits will be credited as green skill
merits.
Cub Scouts & Webelos. Webelos (4th-5th grade) may have their
activity badges credited for blue skill merits in the Discovery
Rangers.
No Equivalency exists for Cub Scouts or Tiger Cubs.
Venture Scouts. Boys Only. The same transition plan as Boy Scouts.
Also a silver merit credit in Expedition Rangers for each of the eight
core requirements and/or electives completed.

9. Policy on Time of Transition and Duplicate Requirements
BOY SCOUT TRANSITONS
Policy on Time of Transition and Duplicate Requirements
When a scout transitions to Royal Rangers, the equivalency (crediting)
will ONLY be established at the time he joins, not later or
concurrently.
This encourages the boy to get on with the Royal Rangers system and
not be distracted with prior work.
When Royal Rangers requirements are similar to previous work done
in the BSA, the young man should be asked to demonstrate their
knowledge by repeating duplicate requirements.

10. BIBLE MERITS
Bible merits have changed from “named books of the Bible” to
“numbered” orange or brown merits.
Old way required 24 orange and 24 brown Bible merits.
New way requires 12 orange and 12 brown (one per advancement).
Three extra orange and brown merits available for “buffalos.”

11. BIBLE MERITS
Old way required completion of five lessons from a particular book
of the RR Orange/Brown Bible lessons to earn the “named” merit.
New way requires completion of eight lessons from a combination
of RR Orange/Brown Bible lessons to earn respective “numbered”
merit.
