7.0.2.2. Scouts must not have access to the list
Required May not apply Often forgotten
Access is limited to those with merit badge-related responsibilities: advancement committee members and chairs, unit leaders and selected assistants. The Scout gets counselor contact details from the unit leader, which is what makes that meeting a real step.
Notes and warnings
Warning. Scouts must not have access to the counselor list. This is not administrative fussiness. It is what makes the unit leader meeting in 7.0.0.3 a real step rather than a formality, because the leader is where the Scout gets a counselor's contact details.
