Regarding length of a lower rank BOR, 15 minutes would be about right, so four a night doesn’t sound far fetched. -

There are ways to find out if someone actually did requirements via discussion and not retesting. And remember, the G2A states: "The purpose of the review is to determine the quality of the candidate’s experience and decide whether the youth is qualified to advance. " (emphasis added). Page 29, 4.4.2.1. "Still, if any member dissents, the decision cannot be for approval. In the case of such disagreement, ... As indicated below the Scout is only told what improvements need to be made." P. 56 "If a board does not approve, the candidate must be so informed and told what can be done to improve...a follow-up letter must be promptly sent to a Scout of any rank who is turned down." So a Board of Review is suppose to make sure work was actually done, and can deny approval for advancement. But appeals will get approved. -
Seems like re-testing to me. What if they can't do it? What do you say? -

When I do my Bugling MB , I often ask the Scout :"Do you think that met the requirement?" I have not done this, but I have often thought that I understand the idea of a BoR NOT being a testing time, but it COULD be a reminding time. " Hello Bill, good to see you up for Second Class. I know the ropes and knots will come in mighty handy, not only in camping, but in other places too. What knot is the toughest for you? Do YOU think you know them? "
