No doubt this question comes from the new Boy Scouts of America Chess merit badge.
I am a United States Chess Federation Master. I know chess. But I can only speculate what answer BSA wants here. No doubt someone with the new merit badge pamphlet could give an authoritative answer to the question, "What four rules should a Boy Scout give as the answer to 'What are the four rules for castling?' question for the Chess merit badge?"
Here are the rules I understand for castling.
1. The King cannot have moved.
2. The Rook cannot have moved.
3. The King cannot be in check.
4. The King cannot move through check.
5. The King cannot move into check.
