Approval

7.0.4.6. If a Scout ignored a procedure that had been made clear

Required

Then the unit leader may require the youth to work with another counselor who is properly documented and who will verify or ensure the requirements are met. The leader should discuss possible follow-up counselors with the Scout and provide the name of at least one.

Notes and warnings

Note. Note how narrow this is. It applies where the requirement to use registered counselors had been made clear to the Scout and was ignored. It is not a general power to send a Scout back to a counselor of the leader's choosing.
