Suspension is a purely temporary measure.

A County may have its registration suspended by the most senior Country Committee on the recommendation of the appropriate Chief Commissioner.

In the event of suspension all County, District, and Group activities must cease and all County, District, and Group Scouters are automatically suspended as if each were individually suspended unless otherwise specified by the most senior Country Committee.

During suspension no member of the County, District, or Group may wear uniform or badges.

If the County Executive Committee is included in the suspension, this must be specified and the most senior Country Committee will be responsible for the administration of County property and finance during the period of suspension.

The County Scout Council will be included in the suspension only if there are special reasons and then only with the approval of the most senior Country Committee.

The Chief Commissioner and Country Committee which suspends a County must report the matter with full details to Headquarters.

The Chief Commissioner should consult Headquarters as to how best to resolve the underlying problem which led to the suspension.
