Requirement
5.0.1.4. Nobody may add to or subtract from a requirement
Required Often forgotten
No council, committee, district, unit or individual. There are no camp-related exemptions except those described in "Advancement for Members With Special Needs". Camp counselors and their helpers are not permitted to modify requirements, whatever the circumstances.
Notes and warnings
Warning. This is stated in the Guide more than once, and is repeated in the camp section precisely because it is where the pressure to bend it is greatest. The only exceptions are those in "Advancement for Members With Special Needs", 10.0.0.0.
