Hello. I am the Scribe for my troop and am responsible for keeping attendance records. I have no problem with the idea of an attendance requirement. If a scout can't make it to even 70% of the meetings, then how are they going to be able to find the time to fulfill the duties and responsibilities a Scout has to God, country, and others. If a scout has decided that he would rather play a sport or participate in another group to the extent that he can't even maintain 70% attendance in his troop, then he should not be allowed to advance.
