The Chancellor Youth Scouts is one of the oldest and most honored youth organizations in Andervaan. Open to boys ages 7-19, regardless of economic class or social standing, the Scouts teach loyalty, ethics, and practical skills, grooming its members for careers in politics, the military, or simply as productive members of society. Among their ranks, only personal accomplishments matter, and the children of politicians and captains of industry learn right alongside the sons of salary men and blue collar workers.
Ranks:
Pup Scout – The entry level. At this rank, young boys are introduced to physical fitness, outdoor activities, and basic survival skills.
Junior Fledgling – Once members have proven their aptitude, they can begin to participate in Scout camps and learn more advanced skills.
Fledgling – In order to progress to Fledgling, Scouts must rank in the top 50% on their Advancement Aptitude tests. At this point, members will receive an introduction to basic military skills such as marching, self-defense, and simple training exercises.
Wolf Scout – For Scouts that have completed all Fledgling requirements and ranked in the top 20% on their tests, survival training becomes more advanced.
