Decision · part of 10.1.2.0. Brief the board of review before it sits
10.1.2.0. Whether they stay is a judgement about the Scout
Optional May not apply
Parents or guardians may be present, especially where they can help interpret and communicate what the Scout is saying. Families and unit leaders are allowed to attend a board of review but are not required to, and their attendance changes the experience for the Scout: the advantage must outweigh the disadvantage.
