Conflict of Interest Policy

To avoid the potential for conflict of interest,  

1. Parents and siblings of a scout may not sign off on the scout's rank requirements.  

2. Parents and siblings of a scout may not sign off on the scout's merit badge blue cards. (There will be one exception – for non-Eagle required merit badges, if there is only one merit badge counselor in the Troop for a particular merit badge, that counselor may sign off his son’s merit badge blue card if the counselor teaches that merit badge to his son and other scouts in a classroom setting.)  

3. Parents and siblings of a scout may not conduct the scout's Scoutmaster conferences.  

4. Parents and siblings of a scout may not conduct the scouts' Board of Reviews.  

5. Parents and siblings of a scout may not be the scout's ASM advisor (for a leadership role).
