1. Be currently registered in a chartered Scout troop.

2. After registration with a troop or team, have experienced 15 days and nights of Boy Scout camping during the two-year period prior to the election. The 15 days and nights must include one, but no more than one, long-term camp consisting of six consecutive days and five nights of resident camping, approved and under the auspices and standards of the Boys Scouts of America. The balance of the camping must be overnight, weekend, or other short term camps.

3. Youth members are elected by a vote of troop or post members present at the electron. Adult leaders are elected by a majority vote of adult Scouters present at the election. Elections are conducted according to procedures outlined elsewhere in these rules. 

4. Be in attendance at long-term camp (for one full week) when elected. A member not with the troop or post at long-term camp is eligible if he attends a Philmont Trek or another High Adventure Base, a Jamboree, the council's Junior Leader Training Camp, another week-long Boy Scout camping program or week-long Wood Badge in the same summer. Failure to meet this requirement voids an election. Adult candidates must attend the full term camp the summer of the election. Webelos or Cub camping is not acceptable. 

5. Youth members must hold the First Class Rank at the time of the election. 

6. Youth members must be approved by their unit leader. 

7. Adult candidates are subject to the approval of the Scout Executive. The Scout Executive May choose to authorize a waiver for adults for long term camp to qualify for resident camping experience over the two year period, upon individual written petition to him stating reason why six consecutive days of resident camp is unattainable. Only conditions related to job security or health of the adult will be considered. No further interpretation or alternatives are to be considered. This must be done two weeks before the election at the Committee Meeting.
