This affords every person at least three opportunities to complete their Ordeal. Then you would have to be reelected. In extreme cases such as family emergencies, the Lodge Executive Committee will consider granting an extension of the Ordeal eligibility period. However, each case is considered separately on its own merits and must be brought to the Executive Committee preferably by the Chapter Chief. For more information, contact your Chapter Adviser or the Lodge Adviser.
Adults have to successfully pass the same ordeal as the youth in order to become members.
Adults have one year from the date of there letter of approval from the Lodge Adviser. The scoutmaster has the right to seal the election results for release at some later date, such as a troop court of honor or District tap out. The year of eligibility would not start until the candidate is officially recognized by his unit. The Lodge year runs from October 1st through September 30th. Dues are due before October 1st.
