Requirement
7.0.4.6. The same holds if the counselor turned out not to be registered
Required Often forgotten
Where a Scout, without intent to violate procedure, fulfilled the requirements with someone not registered and approved, the badge still stands. The Guide gives the example: a counselor inadvertently dropped from a charter, or whose membership had expired, but who remained on an approved list.
Notes and warnings
Warning. This is the one that gets units into trouble both ways. A badge earned in good faith from someone who had quietly dropped off a charter still stands, and stripping it is not an available response. What is available is telling the council so the counselor list can be put right.
