9.0.2.4. No standard for numbers led, or time worked
Required Often forgotten
Councils, districts and units must not establish requirements for how many people are led, for who they are, or for time worked on a project. They must not expect Scouts from different backgrounds, with different experiences and different needs, all to work toward one standard.
Notes and warnings
Warning. This and the hours rule at 9.0.2.12 are the two the Guide states most firmly, and they are stated firmly because units, districts and councils keep writing local standards anyway. There is no permitted number.
