Requirement
4.4.2.4. The board is three to six members of the quarterdeck
Required May not apply Often forgotten
After a Skipper conference, the youth advancing meets with a board of review made up of three to six members of the quarterdeck. This is the difference from Scouts BSA that changes who is in the room.
Notes and warnings
Warning. The single most consequential difference in this plan. The board is three to six members of the quarterdeck: the ship's youth officers, and the boatswain chairs it and picks it. A ship that convenes three adults from the committee has held a meeting, not the board of review the Guide describes.
