I have two questions about presenting newly earned ranks or Merit Badges to Scouts.
Can a Troop, as a standard practice, delay presentation of new rank and Merit Badge achievements until some later event, even if it is several months later?
Can a Troop specify additional requirements before they will present a newly earned rank or Merit Badge to a Scout? If so, what types of additions are permitted, and what types of things are not permitted?
These questions pertain to ranks and Merit Badges where all requirements have been met and appropriately signed off, including the Scoutmaster
