Requirement
4.2.0.1. Requirements are passed as written
Required Often forgotten
If a requirement says show, demonstrate or discuss, then that is what the Scout does. The Guide gives the example itself: filling out a worksheet would not suffice.
Notes and warnings
Warning. The Guide chooses its own example carefully: filling out a worksheet does not satisfy a requirement that says show, demonstrate or discuss. Worksheets are aids for the Scout, not evidence for the tester, and 7.0.4.8 says the same thing about merit badge worksheets.
