Requirement · part of 8.0.1.5. The board does not approve

8.0.1.4. The candidate is told what to improve, not what was said

Required May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Has the board been held, and how did it go?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Where a board disagreed, the candidate must not be informed about the specifics of the conversations or any arguments that took place. Only the improvements needed are shared.

Warning. Tell them what to improve. Tell them nothing about the conversation. "Two of us weren't sure about your service hours" is exactly the sentence the Guide forbids, and it is the one that comes out naturally when somebody is trying to be kind.

Where this step comes from

  1. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 8.0.1.4 · The Scout must not be informed about the specifics of the conversations or any arguments taking place.
