    • July 1 update: average $574,579 per TDP claim. [Still going up, could it be from the inflation increase?] For the TDP, 60% claims determined and 34% paid (19,778 paid) For the IRO, 33% claims determined and 14% paid (28 paid)  Without factoring in non-Matrix IRO payments, it's settling in around $33B needed to be fully funded. The Trust of course, having determined 63% of the claims, could probably give a better estimate.  If they keep on the pace of 5% of all claims determined each month, just seven more months plus or minus to be finished.

    • 1) What was his record before the camp? Was he a "Scout" in the (minimum of how many years?) before he was passed as Eagle?  2) what was his "attitude" before the camp? Is Scouting something he does to please his dad/mom? Is it because he is (was?) trying to beat his brother/sister?  3) Family dynamics (see #1,#2).  Are there mom and dad issues?  5)  Would he rather be (sport/gang/Marines/anything but this sissy Scout stuff)?      I once helped a dad (newly divorced, it turned out) plan the Eagle CoH for his son.  I only knew the Scout by sight. The dad had a nice but simple  affair planned, formal invitations to family, friends, Troop.  The Scoutmaster was military and could not be there that day, but the ASMs did the good job.  I really have no idea why, but we had only about 15 people there, theoretically could have had thirty or forty with Scouts and family.  Words said, thoughts expressed, Scout/Eagle  Promise made, cookies eaten, and boom everyone left.  We never saw that Scout again at our Troop activities, altho he was only 16.  Thinking about it, I could envision this Scout basically saying to the dad:  "There, I did it, now get off my back."  
    • I would not recommend taking a break. Lower intensity, yes, taking a break, no. Cancelling anything is the kiss of death, skipping meetings leads to inconsistent attendance. 
    • Most likely the best case of action is to hold a scoutmasters conference. Let the scoutmaster get an idea of what is going on with the scout. You never know, maybe the scout was told something unexpected.
