I had a conversation on scout spirt in my woodbadge course this summer. One of the instructors was informed by national that a scout has scout spirit even if the scoutmasater thinks he dosnt. I know this is hard to swallow, but honestly who are we to judge someone elses spirit. I suggest that the leader talk to the scout about what each of you think scout spirit is and then ask him if he feels he has lived up to it.

Ok, I may not be a paper/13 year old eagle, but i do believe that no scoutmaster can hold a scout back from earning what is rightfully his. I am 21, a eagle scout out of troop 100 in sioux city iowa, and while i am still a greenhorn in the ways of how the troop operates on the adult side, i do know that if the boy earns his eagle at the age of 13 then the troop is not challengeing him enough. I do agree with some of what mr. mike long has said (see above posting), i also disagree with some of it. For example i praise him on his 1st point, i will be bringing that home for my troop to look at
