Does anyone know if candidates for the NROTC scholarship can have a scoutmaster provide a letter of recommendation? If so, how should this be indicated on the scholarship application?

Thanks for the help.
References Provide the names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses for three required references: 1) a guidance counselor/school administrator; 2) a math, science, or English teacher (depending on program option), and 3) another teacher, counselor, coach, or
employer. For teachers, please provide the mailing address for the school instead of a home address. These individuals will be provided instructions on how to complete the necessary forms. We will ask these individuals to evaluate you in several areas and to compare you to your peers; they will also have space to provide written remarks. You should select these
individuals carefully as weight will be given to their comments.
Funny about interpretations. I thought Scoutmaster could fall under counselor or coach.
Its not crystal clear and we have two differing opinions out of two responders thus far.
Could always play it safe and go with choices which clearly fit the description.
Thanks kinnem and USMCGrunt.
I might just play it safe like you said. I have a teacher who I think could write a good recommendation.
Also, kind of unrelated but do either of you know what I should do if my school doesn't give class rank. My counselor gave me an estimate of what she thought my rank was, but it's not official. Should I use the estimate, or contact NROTC about not having an official class rank?
Thanks again.
This post is almost a decade old, the info could be very out of dateThe information says that the Navy or the Coordinator would contact the teachers with forms to fill out once we gave them all the contact information, but my DS's Coordinator just wanted them to email their reference letters to him. So those questions they would ask them would not have been asked. I'm concerned now. What if other candidates had their teachers fill out forms with specific questions and my DS did not. Anyone else told that the teachers need only send in reference letters?
Here's what it says..."These individuals will be provided instructions on how to complete the necessary forms.
