Kip,
You're right about the reference, but the wording is almost identical in
the Troop Committee Guidebook (which I couldn't lay my hands on last evening,
but have
since located). So you still can't re-test the Scout.

No he's not. Reference Article VI, Clause 9 of the Rules and Regulations of
the
Boy Scouts of America, i.e., "A unit leader may not serve simultaneously in
any
other position within the same unit."

BoR to ask direct questions about the requirements. >>
No, it's not. See Mike Walton's excellent explanation in another post today.
