Having completed your witnessing event you have achieved Step 1. You need to get your name back on the list for Step 2 as you find you desperately want to become a member of the Cob. Steps 2 through 12 are identical to Step 1, it's just that your confidence grows step by step and by Step 12 you know that you know you are now whole. You also receive certification for a charter and may open your own chapter. The advantage of having your own chapter is you are automatically President of the Cob.
All names are badges of honor.
Since B.A.A.G. is structured like a pyramid you want to climb all 12 steps as quickly as possible so you are on the ground floor. A perk of president of the Cob is the seniority he carries on the witnessing waiting list. He is the only Bag allowed more than 12 events and may partake as often as once a month if so inclined. The other perk is known only to the most senior members of the Cob. This gives them additional incentive to move out and start their own chapter.
