I am looking for the specific definition of "Active" as it pertains to rank advancement, especially Eagle. Any help or guidelines would be appreciated.

Interesting that you bring up this subject. Are you a scout or adult leader? When I went to summer camp 30+ years ago it was a lot of time and work to get three merit badges in the week that you were there. At camp this year we had one boy get 8 and another with 7! I have been told that one scout got Aviation in about 30 minutes. I think that this is a little quick. I was unable to attend camp this summer, but I think that you are correct in your assumption.

I would like to know how different troops deal with scouts that are enduring finanicial hardship in one form or another. Does your troop have a set form and/or guidelines which you follow? What can be asked of the parents and what is out of line. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
