Requirement
4.2.3.5. A unit leader may NOT deny a timely conference
Required Often forgotten
Unit leaders do not have the authority to deny a Scout a timely conference when one is required for a rank. If one is denied, a Scout who believes all the other requirements are complete may still request a board of review.
Notes and warnings
Warning. A conference is not leverage. If it is denied, the Scout who believes every other requirement is complete may still request a board of review. See 8.0.0.2, boards of review must be granted when requirements are met.
