Boy Scout Question?

Question

Is it easy to earn the following- Toten' Chip Tenderfoot rank and Second Class?

Answer 1

Yes, i did it in 1994

Answer 2

Yes, with the right attitude it is quite simple.

The Toten' Chip shows your lessons learned in saw, knife, and ax safety. Tenderfoot is the first step after the rank of Scout. You need to show basic understanding of scouting and its rules. While Second Class is the next rank after Tenderfoot where you start to learn basic knots and scout strategies.

After several years of hard work, you will look back at these first steps as the all important beginning of your fun and beneficial scouting career.

Answer 3

Its not hard. Someone in the troop will demonstrate it to them and they take some sort of test usually demonstrating it back . Every troop has different ways of doing it, but its mainly common sense.

As for tenderfoot and second class. Those are fairly simple, the way Ive always thought was that scouts should be working on first class in one year. Its not until you're going on star that it gets tougher and kids leave because you have to wait 4 months and get 6 merit badges. Life requires 6 months as a star scout and earn 5 merit badges. so you have 11 in total if you did the minimum, and as life you have to wait 6 more months and earn 10 more merit badges. 12 out of the 21 of them are required for eagle. I earned first class in under a year, but i started when i was 14 so I was more mature than others that start at 11, But its not very hard.
