That is complete bull. A board can not make any changed or require additional things beyond what it states in the requirement. I suggest reading the Guide to Advancement, it is extremely enlightening. The board can however ask how he demonstrated leadership in his position but after he answers it must be moved on from and can not be held against him. The requirements are the requirements regardless of how a board or its members may feel. Again, read the Guide to Advancement, I am so glad I did because there was a lot of surprising things in it. For example, If a scout doesn't show up to the BOR in full uniform, it can not be held against him, they can ask why but after he answers its a done deal. Read it.
