Requirement

5.0.2.0. They must NOT be made to redo requirements

Required May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Where did the advancement come from?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

A requirement that was signed off before the absence stays signed off. There is no provision anywhere for asking a returning Scout to prove again something they have already completed.

Notes and warnings

Warning. This is the sentence people most often act against, usually with good intentions: a unit that "just wants to see" a returning Scout demonstrate a skill again is requiring a requirement to be redone. If a leader is unsure the work was done, the answer is verification with the people who were there, not repetition by the Scout.
