Requirement

8.0.1.0. Observers are minimised, and insistent parents may attend

Required

The Guide names this topic as applying to Sea Scouts, and notes that the same exception carries over: parents or guardians who insist on being present must be permitted to attend as observers.

Where this step comes from

  1. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 4.4.2.3 · Conducting the board of review applies, with the same exception for parents or guardians who insist on being present.
  2. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 8.0.1.0 · The unit leader may remain to observe; observers are otherwise minimised; insistent parents or guardians must be permitted to attend as observers.
