Nothing in this section precludes young people under the age of sixteen from applying under the procedure described in 11.04-11.12
Options available to those admitted on parental application
Membership acquired on parental application constitutes full membership and the member is under no obligation to confirm it on reaching a certain age. It is entirely valid, however, for a member to wish to indicate a personal acceptance of membership acquired in this way, or to wish to resign and seek re-admission as a 'convinced' Friend. Such requests may be made after much serious thought and area meetings should respond carefully, being guided by the spiritual needs of their members rather than by the desire to establish or follow a uniform practice.
