How do members receive a rank, merit badge, or award not available for selection?
You can only select, according to unit type, the advancements that are appropriate for the members of your unit. If you have a member who has earned an item that is not on your pick list, you must submit this to the council on a paper Advancement Report (No. 34403B) and the council will enter it. The Advancement Forms link on the Welcome page has the Unit Advancement Report. You cannot award in Internet Advancement any nominated awards, such as meritorious action awards, and awards controlled by other organizations, even if permitted for uniform wear.
