The most critical things you need to know is (quoting directly from the form): "Unless there are unusual circumstances that account for the time lapse, no application may be considered after a lapse of 6 months from the action without a written explanation from the Scout Executive or adviser to the council committee."
So the clock is running. This is a very important part of getting out the good story of scouting. Please don't let this get away, if there is recognition that should be given.
