8.0.1.1. It is not a retest
Required Often forgotten
Never an examination, and never a challenge to what the Scout knows. In most cases it should be a celebration. A Scout must not be turned down for anything unrelated to the requirements, not for forgetting a handbook, and not for being late.
Notes and warnings
Tip. If an answer shows a requirement was not actually met (the Scout never did cook that meal on a campout) the right move is to adjourn, let the Scout complete it, and reconvene. Not to fail the board on the spot.
