Decision · part of 5.0.3.1. Requirements one Scout and a counselor can meet are met as written
5.0.3.1. Simple wording issues need nobody's approval
Optional
The Guide's own example: a Lone Scout may fulfil a position of responsibility by serving in a school, a place of worship, a club and so on.
Notes and warnings
Tip. Try the substitution before asking for an alternative. A requirement met as written with a neighbour standing in for a patrol is stronger than an approved alternative, and needs nobody's permission.
