A Scoutmaster Conference is conducted by the Scout and an examiner. For all ranks up to First Class inclusive, any Assistant Scoutmaster may serve as an examiner. For all higher ranks, only the Scoutmaster may perform the conference. Its primary purpose is not to make sure that the Scout remembers the Scout skills required for the rank he is a candidate for, but to make sure the scout is enjoying the troop, if he has had any problems, and to see if he has any suggestions of ways to make the troop better; as well as anything else the Scout or Scoutmaster wants to talk about.

The requirement for a conference with the Scoutmaster was added in the 1963 Boy Scout Handbook Supplement.[1] With the Improved Scouting Program in 1972, it was renamed to personal growth agreement. In the early 1980s, it was formally renamed Scoutmaster Conference.
