4.0.0.1. A Cub Scout who rejoins
Optional
A former member who rejoins may carry on and pick up where they left off, but receives no credit for activities while not registered. A rejoining Cub Scout may continue on their rank only if rejoining while in the same grade; otherwise they work on the rank appropriate to their current grade.
Notes and warnings
Note. No credit is given for activities completed while not registered. A youth who is no longer eligible to take part as a youth member, because of age for example, can neither receive credit for completing requirements nor be given any advancement recognition they were ineligible to earn at the time.
