- At a Board Of Review, I usually asked first questions about Scouting
- knowledge the Scout is supposed to have learned - the questions
- depended on what merit badges/skill awards the Scout had earned toward
- the rank he was being reviewed on. Then came the questions about
- plans and goals, what does Scouting mean to you, what suggestions do
- you have about the troop (If he has any, its a sign that he's thinking
- about Scouting...)
-
- In short - some of both.
