4.2.1.5. If the leader doubts the learning: practice or teach, never retest
Recommended
Where a unit leader believes a Scout has not learned the subject matter of a requirement that was signed off, the Guide's answer is to have the Scout practice or teach it. The Scout completes the learning and develops the skill further without being retested.
Notes and warnings
Tip. Worth having ready as a sentence, because the instinct in the moment is to retest. "Let's have you teach that to the new Scouts on Saturday" satisfies the Guide and fixes the actual problem; "show me again" does not, and asks the Scout to prove something already settled.
