First Class is the fourth rank of Boy Scouts. A Scout can complete requirements for any other rank in virtually any order, but the ranks must be earned in sequence (Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life, and Eagle). To earn the First Class rank, a Scout must complete requirements dealing with orienteering, camping, cooking, constitutional rights, plants, knots, lashings, swimming, recruitment, and the Internet.
The First Class Rank Pin is awarded to Scouts recognized for having a full set of skills.
The three-point design of the top half is like the north point of an old sailor's compass. This shows that a Scout is able to point the right way in life as truly as the compass points it in the field.
The eagle and shield, national emblem of the US, stand for freedom and a Scouter's readiness to defend that freedom.
The two stars stand for truth and knowledge of the Scouting movement. They guide you by night and suggest a Scout's outdoor life.
The scroll is turned up at the ends to remind us of the corners of a Scout's mouth raised in a smile as he does his duty.
The knot attached to the bottom of the scroll represents the Scout slogan, Do a Good Turn Daily.
