The rank requirements shown here are official as of January 1, 2011.  If a Scout has started work toward a rank before this date using requirements that were current before January 1, 2011, he may complete that rank using the old requirements.  Any progress toward a rank that is begun after January 1, 2011, must use the requirements as they are shown here.
