8.0.3.2. Eagle only: a board of review under disputed circumstances

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.

Held at district or council level with nobody from the candidate's unit involved. Indicated where the unit leader or committee chair will not sign, a Scoutmaster conference is refused, the beneficiary or leader will not approve a finished project, or there is legitimate concern the unit cannot give a fair hearing.

Note. Before it comes to this, the unit leader or committee chair should talk it through with the Scout and a parent or guardian, and seek guidance from the district or council advancement chair to be sure more is not being expected than the requirements actually ask.

Warning. A council or district should rarely refuse a request for a board under disputed circumstances, but may where the request is frivolous or the concern about a fair hearing is invalid. The ordinary board is then held, and a denial there can still be appealed.
