-Not updated as the closure of office and temporary stop of operations hindered updating of records
-Due to the pandemic, institutions questioned the existence of Scouting in schools which eventually led teachers not to be updated with publications and announcements of the local council office

# data[].attributes.body
-Due to limited travel of individuals, teachers could not transact with the local council and respective counselors to physically comply with advancement requirements
-Lack of online resources and forms hindered compliance of requirements via the internet; In case of availability, poor internet connection would also be a problem

Suggestion: Provide online resources to local councils which will be utilized to process advancement requirements. Also, with the lifting of strict covid restrictions, physical processing may then be allowed to complement the online means.

-Due to no face to face classes, BOR and COH cannot be conducted in schools. Same is through with not being able to conduct face to face BOR and COH in any setting as gathering of a number of individuals is also prohibited
-BOR and COH via the internet is not impossible, but requires special preparation in order to secure that internet connection of the candidate for advancement, the local council, and the board of review be stable and will not cause problem in its conduct

# data[].attributes.body
-Requirements are very exhaustive in terms of number of trained individuals to serve as coordinator, material requirements, and available time for Scouts to comply

-WBH holders are been utilized to act as merit badges counselor on specific merit badge requirements
- institutional units submit requirement and papers to the Local Council for evaluation and recommendation to designated merit badge counselor for approval and further assessment
-due to the pandemic, conduct of BOR is limited and depends on the area health concerns

# data[].attributes.body
-The advancement process is very complex. Reconsider the requirements for advancements. Be able to differentiate what may be required(those required by the old advancement scheme - MB, BOR, and Specialist Rating) and what can be optional (Better World Framework, Special Project, etc.)
-Reconsider the length of validity of a Merit Badge Counselors certification to act as one. Having the renewal once a year would discourage them to apply as one and act as one.
-National office must provide guidelines and online resources to local councils in order to make the the process uniform to all. It is due that local councils need to innovate, but a uniform system must also be put to place
