Our pack has several kids and some adults working on the Year of Celebration awards. In January we tried to pick up our first round from the scout shop, using the form generated by the website that the Boy Scouts of America told us to use.
We were told that it had to be on an advancement report. Now, advancement reports are used for awards that have to be earned, like rank awards and merit badges for boy scouts. The awards can be earned by alumni and leaders as well, who wouldn't normally even show up on the report.
So I called the scout shop to verify, before we go out there again. They said that you either have to do the online form OR the advancement report. They said "only one pack has done it correctly all year." I'd really like to know what pack that is so we can get this right with *one* trip to the scout shop. Driving 15 miles each way is kind of a pain. I can imagine it is even more painful for the packs / troops who are further out and have to add an hour to that drive to get to the service center.
Wish us luck!
