Requirement

10.1.2.0. Scouts BSA: requirements are met as written, no more and no less

Required May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Which program is the member in?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Members must meet current requirements as written for merit badges, all ranks and Eagle Palms, and do exactly what is stated. If it says "show or demonstrate", telling is not enough. The same holds for "make", "list", "in the field", "collect", "identify" and "label".

Warning. The advancement program is meant to challenge its members. Scouts with special needs and disabilities need to learn from striving for something too, and not all of them will achieve everything they want to, which is equally true of Scouts without a disability.
