Requirement
9.0.2.1. What a candidate has the right to expect
Required
Questioning and probing for understanding, conducted in a helpful, friendly, courteous and kind-hearted manner, respecting the Scout's dignity. Expectations matching requirement 5 and asking no more than the workbook describes. Guidance readily available, while responsibility for success stays with the Scout.
Notes and warnings
Warning. Written as a list of entitlements rather than duties, which is rare in the Guide, and it is the topic to have open when an approval meeting is going badly. Questioning and probing are expected and legitimate; doing it in a way that is not helpful, friendly, courteous and kind-hearted is not.
