Addressing Properly

During formal hours, scout of -all ranks- should address their Superior by Rank. (example: Commander Keith, Colonel Rasmussen) Such is common courtesy and should be observed.

Promotion

The RANK is one's worth in the troop. Each rank an Honour. Ranks are granted by the promotion board, not asked nor trailed for. It is 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 during quarterly assessment. However, a nomination is by no means guarantees promotion, as the board of promotions will hold all decisions, which is final.
