10.1.2.0. Brief the board of review before it sits

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.

Board members should be told in advance about the special circumstances and needs. It may help to have the unit leader, or a parent or guardian, present at or before the review to answer questions and give background on the challenges and how the Scout copes with them.

Tip. Telling the board in advance is the whole point. A board that learns about a Scout's needs during the review has already asked the questions it would have asked differently.
