Requirement

5.0.2.0. The time away must NOT be held against them

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.

The absence itself is not a mark against the Scout and is not weighed at a board of review or anywhere else. The Guide states this and the previous point in the same sentence.

Warning. A board of review is not the place to reopen why somebody left, or for how long. The Guide puts the absence out of scope in the same breath as it forbids redoing requirements.

Where this step comes from
