Note:

• It is OK for a scout to work more than the required service hours, but unfortunately, those hours do not roll over to the next advancement, with the exception of Tenderfoot and 2nd Class, up to the 15 hour cap requirement of 1st Class. However, if a scout works more than the required number of hours, he can always use it for his brag sheet for high school.
