program continues through the Scout section to the Venture Scout section, rather than separating the two. The Scout section program at present has five ranks, Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class and Chrysanthemum, and the Venture Scout section has four ranks including Fuji Scout. After four years in the Scout section, Scouts presently move into Venture Scouting automatically and begin progress toward earning the four Venture program badges-Venture Second Class, Venture First Class, Peregrine Falcon and Fuji Scout-over the course of three years. However, from November 1, 2017, Venture Scouts will be required to earn just one more rank-Peregrine Falcon-above the badge they earned in the Scout section, before working toward Fuji Scout.
1167:BS部門・VS部門進級課程の改定について 予てよりお伝えしておりましたBS部門・VS部門の進級課程に関して、本日、日本連盟ホームページに掲載いたしました。 ●新たな進級課程が平成29年9月1日から施行となります。 活動的で自立したスカウトを育てるため、日々のスカウト活動が行われておりますが、スカウト活動の一貫性、累進制を鑑み、進歩の継続性を重視したものとするため、現行のボーイスカウト部門とベンチャースカウト部門の進級課程を一本化とした新たな進級課程へと改定いたします。 公示:平成28年11月1日 施行:平成29年 9月1日 ●一貫性を持たせた6段階の進級課程 各進級はそれぞれ、初級・2級・1級・菊・隼・富士の6段階とし、全ての進級章を取得して到達点である富士スカウト章を目指す制度といたします。各進級課目は必修課目を中心とした内容としたこと、各級に「進歩の目標」を設定したことにより、その級の目標となる技能、知識を確実に修得し、次の進級を目指します。  進級記章もデザインを一新し、ボーイスカウト部門からベンチャースカウト部門までを統一したデザインとなります。また、ベンチャー隊の最初の進級課目である「ベンチャー章」は廃止とし、「菊スカウト章」着用後は「隼スカウト章」そして到達点である「富士スカウト章」を目指すこととなります。 必修課目と選択課目のリニューアルや各隊における移行の準備のお願い、新進級各章の進級細目等もホームページに掲載しておりますので、ぜひご一読ください。 ホームページURL 310: 157: 360: 192:.
