Task

8.0.7.0. A Summit denial may be appealed

Optional 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.

Negative decisions of a Summit board of review may be appealed. The Guide does not write out a separate procedure: it says to follow the Scouts BSA appeal topics and replace the Scouts BSA references with the Venturing ones.

Note. The Guide does not write out a Venturing appeal procedure. It says to follow the Scouts BSA topics (Appealing a Decision, Filing and Processing an Appeal, and Appeal Board Must Research the Case) substituting the Venturing terms. Read those topics; this plan does not paraphrase them.

Where this step comes from

  1. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 8.0.7.0 · Negative decisions of a Summit board of review may be appealed, following the Scouts BSA appeal topics with the Venturing references substituted.
