FScouter Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 The purpose of the Eagle BoR is to determine whether the candidate has met all the requirements and is worthy to hold the rank. I see no value at all in having the SM or SA participate. They are too close to the boy to be able to objectively make a evaluation. They are not permitted to attend boards of review for lower ranks. Eagle should be no exception. Having served on a number of Eagle boards, I'd be a bit uncomfortable questioning and evaluating a candidate under the watchful eye of the SM. He should be waiting outside with the parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevorum Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I guess this is at the discretion of the BoR Chairperson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperParatus Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Fscouter, Why would the SM's presence in the room make you feel uncomfortable? I have sat through many Eagle BORs and I have never seen the Board chair refuse the SM permission to observe. Most chairs welcome the SM's presence.
