Many thanks for the rapid and clarifying replies. I'll proceed accordingly. I have no reservations concerning this prospective eagle scout. He personifies everything an eagle scout should stand for. A genuine fine young man. Last year as a 10th grader he was selected as Student Athlete of the week by a local TV sports show. That is an honor few high school seniors receive much less a 10th grader. Thanks again for the assistance. Best regards tree

Hello, Our scoutmaster's son is ready for his eagle scoutmaster conference. I am an Assistant Scoutmaster serving 4 active years in our troop. I usually perform the lower level rank scoutmaster conferences due to the large size of our troop. That leaves the Scoutmaster the ranks of Star, Life & Eagle. In as much as the scoutmaster's son is due for his eagle scoutmaster conference, and to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest, the eagle candidate has asked if I would be willing to perform the eagle scoutmaster conference. I have reviewed a host of eagle scoutmaster conference appropriate questions, and am well familiar with the eagle project. As such I feel comfortable with the task at hand. Is their any prohibition on an Assistant Scoutmaster performing this eagle scoutmaster conference? The reason I ask is that according to scouting.org Scoutmaster Conference Training The Role of the Scoutmaster Conference "Even in a large troop, a Scoutmaster should not delegate a conference with any candidate for Star, Life, and Eagle." I know it says should not and not "shall not". I just thought I would run it past you folks. Thanks.
