That “proof” is a form called the Unit Advancement Report.
But the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) doesn’t allow our Scout Shop to sell you an award or advancement without proof that your Scout(s) actually earned them.

When your Scouts earn an award or rank advancement, your unit must buy the award/advancement from the Steve Matthews Scout Shop (located inside the Frank Fickett Scout Training and Service Center).
