Isn't Brotherhood just for bigshots?
Nope, Brotherhood is for every member of the Lodge. If you look at the requirements you'll see they really aren't much harder than earning the rank of Scout.

Do I need to seal my membership as a brotherhood member?
Yes, when you were elected in the order by your unit and you took the obligation of the Order to serve your unit and set the example as a Scout. Sealing your membership proves to your unit that you took this obligation with them in mind seriously.
