Then, go back and read your Leadership guides and Advancement Book. Remember
that at age 11 a young man can join a Troop without the Arrow of Light.
How hard would it be to do something for the boy? Forget MOM, if you cross
him over she will be gone also.
Go read the Webelos book also. I believe that it say that the boy can have
his Arrow of Light at 10 1/2 years of age.
Good luck,
