Requirement

7.0.3.2. Every Scout, actually and personally

Required May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "What is the technology being used for?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

We must know that every Scout actually and personally completed the requirements. It is unacceptable to award badges on the basis of sitting in a classroom watching demonstrations, or remaining silent during discussions, and a muted, camera-off attendee is the online form of both.

Warning. Sitting in a classroom watching demonstrations, or remaining silent during discussions, does not earn a badge. Online, that becomes a Scout who is muted with the camera off, and the burden is on whoever is running the session to know the difference before signing anything.
