10.1.2.3. A health professional must explain the need in writing

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.

The application process for a modification requires a health professional with qualifications related to that disability to state in writing what the disability is and that the Scout requires a modification. A council advancement committee without the relevant expertise should not supersede that assessment, though it is reasonable to ask for clarification where a document is unclear.

Where this step comes from

  1. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 10.1.2.3 · The written explanation from a qualified health professional, and the weight it carries.
