Are there any valid reasons, other than special educational needs, for keeping a child in Scouts beyond its fifteenth birthday? Any examples of where this has happened?

My reading of POR (3.11b) and FS250045 suggests that flexibility is limited to those with SEN or disabilities.

Surely you mean 14?

Al
No, I mean 15.

The core age range for the Scout section is 10.5 to 14 but a child can be in Scouts from their 10th b'day to their 15th b'day (POR 3.9h)

Stephen,

That "flexibility" for SEN or disabilities is to keep them in Scouts past their 14th Birthday, but you appear to be asking it is allows them past their 15th Birthday as well?
