5.0.1.2. And for issuing partials
Required Often forgotten
For badges that take longer to complete than the time available at camp, which for many badges is every camp. A partial is the expected result, not the disappointing one.
Notes and warnings
Tip. Partials have no expiry except the Scout's 18th birthday, and no unit, district or council may invent one. A signed partial travels: it is the usual way of proving a camp's prerequisites have been met.
