Decision
9.0.2.7. When the project has to change
Required
Candidates must be allowed flexibility, because no proposal forecasts every contingency. Essential elements should not change without good reason; when they must, the Scout consults the coach or unit leader and should share substantive changes with the beneficiary and those who preapproved it. Except in extreme circumstances, approval is not withdrawn.
Notes and warnings
Tip. Flexibility is expected. What needs a conversation is a change to an essential element, and the person to have it with is the coach or the unit leader before the change is made, not the board of review afterwards.
