Addressing Properly
During formal hours, scout of -all ranks- should address each other by Rank. Such is common courtesy and should be observed.
Promotion
Ranks are granted by the promotion board, not asked nor trailed for. It is also tradition and courtesy to never ask for a promotion, as asking for it decreases the value when granted. Promotion review is quarterly, granted to the deserving. PLs may choose to give his nomination for promotion during PL council, which will be passed to the Scouter's council for discussion/assessment. A nomination by no means guarantees promotion, as the board of promotions will hold all decisions, which is final.
Demotion
As there is promotion, there will be Demotion as well. While Demotions usually do not happen unless there are 'better' suitors for the rank due to rank limits of each rank. Demotions will be decided by Scouter Council alone and requires no nomination. A person of a high rank may also 'request' demotion of his own rank should he feels he's not deserving, though it will be up to the Council to decide and not demotion is final unless the Scouter Council says so.
