Brad,
The Scout has to get a physical every two years anyway, so all he has to do
is make sure he's due for a re-exam when he goes for the MB. And he should be
getting regular dental checkups, too. The MB does not place any additional
financial burden on the Scout's family; it just might require him to do some
better planning.
