Unlike Cub Scouts, a parent or guardian can not sign off rank or merit badge requirements for their own son. You may assist them with completing some of the requirements but it is up to the boy to present and demonstrate knowledge as specified in the requirement to a the Scoutmaster, Assistant Scoutmaster or a designated Scout (usually our senior Scouts – Life or Eagle).
