Others, including Bruce Cobern, have stated that there is NO SUCH rule.
As Bruce said, if the SM wishes to assign a parent as his son's mb
counselor, he is free to do so. If does NOT want to do so, that's his
choice also.
The exact rule, from _Advancement Committee Policies and Procedures_
(#33088B) - Page 10, is as follows:
There is no limit on the number of merit badges a Scout may earn
from one counselor.
An aproved merit badge counselor may counsel any Scout,
including his or her own son, ward, or relative.
Is it a good idea to assign a parent as a counselor? Probably not. Is
it permitted? YES.
