7.0.0.2. Meet the unit leader to talk about the experience

Required Often forgotten

A conversation and a celebration, not a retest: the counselor has already done the testing.

Warning. This is not a retest. If the unit leader believes the badge was not earned, there is a defined review process at 7.0.4.7; if they believe the counselor did not uphold BSA standards, that is reported under 11.1.0.0. Neither is a reason to make the Scout do the requirements again on the spot.

Where this step comes from

  1. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 7.0.0.2 · The discussion after completion, and that it is not a retest.
  2. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 4.2.1.2 · The counselor has done the testing.
