Task

5.0.6.0. Invite parents or guardians and friends

Recommended May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Was the board of review the rank needed already held?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

The Guide calls it appropriate to invite them to the board. It is offered as fitting, not imposed as a requirement, and the family decides whether it is something they want.

Notes and warnings

Tip. The Guide's word is "appropriate", not "required". Offer it to the family and let them answer. For some it is the thing they most want and for others it is unbearable, and neither answer needs explaining to a unit.
