Decision

10.1.2.7. Not qualified for that registration? Then everything is done before 18

Optional 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.

Eagle Scout candidates who have disabilities but do not qualify for registration beyond the age of eligibility must complete all requirements before the 18th birthday. In rare cases they may qualify for a time extension instead. See 9.0.4.0. Where a candidate is not registered beyond the age of eligibility but should be, the procedures at 10.2.0.0 must be followed, and work completed during any gap in registration may be credited with council approval.

Warning. A time extension is not a substitute for registration beyond the age of eligibility, and is available only in rare cases. The two are different things with different approvers: see 9.0.4.0 for extensions and 10.2.0.0 for registration.
