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? " -
Received from the Trust Admin a bit ago: "On October 13, a further one-day extension was granted moving the deadline to October 14, 2025. On October 14, 2025, a small group of sexual abuse survivors filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the United States Supreme Court. Through the filing of this petition, this small group of survivors is requesting that the Supreme Court review the decision of the Third Circuit in connection with their appeal from confirmation of the BSA plan of reorganization. BSA and other parties intend to oppose the petition, arguing that there is no legitimate basis for further review by the Supreme Court. While it is not possible to predict with certainty when the Supreme Court will decide whether it will grant the petition and agree to review the decision of the Third Circuit, it is highly unlikely that we will know if the Supreme Court will agree to review the decision of the Third Circuit until sometime in the first quarter of 2026. If the Supreme Court decides to review the decision of the Third Circuit, there will be even further delays so that the parties can submit briefs on the merits of the appeal and the Supreme Court can hear oral argument. These further delays mean that the funds necessary for a second distribution from the Trust to Survivors with allowed claims will remain in escrow until all appeals are exhausted and the plan confirmation order becomes a final order. In the meantime, the Trust’s essential work of determining claims and providing an initial distribution to Survivors of sexual abuse in Scouting with allowed claims will continue without interruption.
