Requirement · part of 8.0.6.0. Two registered adults aged 21 or over must be present as advisors

8.0.6.0. Never more adults present than Venturers

Required May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Which rank is this board of review for?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

At no time should there be more adults than Venturers in the room. It is a hard limit on the shape of the meeting, and it is the one most easily broken by well-meaning attendance.

Notes and warnings

Tip. Count the room before you start, not after. Two required adults plus a curious associate Advisor plus somebody from the committee against a board of three Venturers is over the line, and nobody notices until it is a room of adults reviewing a young person.

Where this step comes from
