Actaully the statement has little to do with either the rank requirement or what ever. It is about knowing the first aid for something that can arise from doing a 10 mile hike. I would not take any of my scouts on a 10 mile hike without knowing these requirements, and I think that any leader will do the same. That is the reason why, if a scout takes a 10 mile hike for a rank requirement without know the proper first aid an safety procedures, it cannot count for hiking.
