Event

8.0.4.1. Three or five members hear the appeal

Required May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Has the board been held, and how did it go?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

An odd number, all objective volunteers who know advancement and appeals procedure. Nobody who sat on the original board or an earlier appeal may serve. It is not another board of review: it looks only at the issues that caused the rejection, and a majority decides.

Note. The council-designated appeals coordinator may attend and advise. No other guests, including the candidate's parents or guardians. Where a face-to-face meeting with the Scout is impractical, extra care is taken to collect the Scout's side.

Where this step comes from

  1. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 8.0.4.1 · Three or five members, who may not serve, and that a majority decides.
