Hey Scouts! Did you always find rank advancement to be a huge pain in the butt? Don't you just find it annoying that you gotta flip through a giant book to find some answer to a requirement? Well, tell you what, I'm changing that. With this app, answers to requirements are now: • Shown to you in the most obvious way possible. No hassle, no nothing. (quite literally a list of requirements you can click open to see the answer) • Explained as directly and simply as possible.* • Updated LIVE. No need to update the app if answers to requirements are changed. (you will need an internet connection to download updates tho) • Updated overtime as well. New answers will be added, and old answers may be improved. *Though for some requirements, it is absolutely impossible to determine a single good answer as they can vary heavily depending on factors such as geological location. (Don't worry, though. We'll still provide as much guidance as possible on it.) and uh yeah that's it. have fun. if u got any feedback or you're not satisfied with an answer to a requirement, use the feedback form (find the button in-app) so I can update it!
