Troop 1014 is currently servicing the following areas NorthLake Forest, Albury Manor, Lakewood Oaks Estates and parts of Fairfield and Longwood.  

Last year, the new rank requirements were being phased in, and the BSA allowed Scouts to continue to follow the old requirements under some conditions.  Beginning January of 2017, all Scouts must use the new requirements regardless of rank.

Here is a printable list of the new requirements that may be inserted in your Scout Handbook.  The pages are meant to be folded and assembled into a booklet.

This document shows a side-by-side comparison of the old and new requirements.

An explanation of the transition from the old to new requirements may be found here.
