Every Scouting activity moves young people toward the basic aims of: character development, citizenship training, leadership, and mental and physical fitness.

Advancement is one of the eight methods used by Scout leaders to help youth fulfill the aims of the BSA. Scout leaders need to understand the mechanics, policies and procedures of Advancement. National BSA has published the Guide to Advancement for this purpose.
