Decision
10.2.0.1. If ordinary flexibility is enough, this route must not be used
Required Often forgotten
Where members can take advantage of the flexibility already built into Scouting advancement and participate in essentially the same way as typical youth, they must not be registered beyond the age of eligibility. If ranks can be achieved through the accommodations or modifications set out in official literature, the disability probably does not rise to the level this request requires.
Notes and warnings
Warning. If members can use the flexibility already built into advancement and take part in essentially the same way as typical youth, they must not be registered beyond the age of eligibility. Try section 10.1 (accommodations, modifications and alternative requirements) before this.
Where this step comes from
- Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 10.2.0.1 · Members who can use the built-in flexibility must not be registered beyond the age of eligibility.
- Request for Registration Beyond the Age of Eligibility (2024 revision), Criteria · If ranks can be achieved through accommodations or modifications, the threshold is probably not met.
