Board of Review

The Board of Review is not all that complicated. It is essential for evaluating the performance of the leadership regarding youth achievements. Always keep in mind that it is just a review. It's not a trial or an inquisition of any kind. We go over the process and who needs to be there. Depending on the rank advancement will depend on the questions there may be asked. Keep Board of Review non-rehearsed if possible. Many aspects of the Board of Review may not be thought of by participants. A good Board of Review tends to be shorter than 1/2 hour.
