Event
7.0.4.7. Act within 30 days of discovery
Required Often forgotten
Unit leaders who find it necessary to use this recourse must act quickly, and if possible within 30 days of discovery. It is inappropriate to delay a Scout's advancement with anything less than a prompt decision.
Notes and warnings
Deadline. 30 days from discovery, if possible. Beyond that, a Scout or family who has had no reasonable explanation for the delay may take it to the unit committee, so the deadline protects the Scout rather than the leader.
