Re: AOL and homeschooled boys

A 9 or 10 year old Boy can't be a Boy Scout unless he has earned the
Arrow of Light or completed the 5th grade.

So, what happens if a troop allows an "under age" boy to join without
meeting one of the other requirements (earned AOL or completed 5th
grade) to be a Scout? Well, one thing that happens, if the boy goes on
to complete the requirements to be an Eagle Scout, is the troop winds up
in a very embarassing situation.

My advice is to "think twice" before allowing a boy to join a Scout
troop if he doesn't meet the "joining" requirements.

YiS,
