Decision
4.3.1.3. What a Venturer may count twice
Required
Requirements completed toward ranks and merit badges while registered in Scouts BSA or Sea Scouts may be considered toward Venturing rank and award requirements.
Notes and warnings
Note. The general rule this sits under is 4.2.3.6, fulfilling more than one requirement with a single activity. 4.3.1.3 is the Venturing version of it and is more generous, because it reaches across programs rather than within one.
