Simply the best. Unlike the rest.™
From the "Scouting Terms and Style" section in the "The Language of Scouting" area of
www.scouting.org,
First Class Emphasis is described in these terms:
Troop 1377 has instituted an entire intensive training program to emphasize the skills
needed to advance to First Class.
In the first year, most new Scouts progress through the First Class Rank.
This is very important to the new boys and the Troop,
since the skills developed beginning with the Scout Rank
and continuing through the First Class Rank include all the basic
skills required in the Boy Scouting program.
Once a Scout achieves the First Class Rank,
Troop 1377 offers many opportunities to experience leadership and provide
service as they work towards achieving their Star, Life and Eagle Scout Ranks.
