Milestone
9.0.4.1. Denied
Optional
There are exactly two grounds: that an extension is not warranted under the three tests, or that a Scout who meets the three tests needs more than six months, which a council has no power to grant.
Notes and warnings
Note. Council authority stops at six months because it has been established that only rarely do circumstances warrant longer. A Scout who meets the three tests but needs more must be refused by the council and then appeal.
