My youngest son just turned 11 last week and is just starting the 5th grade next week. He started Tigers with his peers in the 1st grade. He is now a Webelos working on his Arrow of Light.
He is also the youngest of 3 boys, all of whom are really active in scouts. His oldest brother will be SPL in his troop this year. As a result of doing something scout related nearly every week since 1st grade and being the oldest boy in his den, he is ready for Boy Scouts. But, he also wants to finish what he started with his Arrow of Light.
Being 11 trumps everything so I know that he could transfer now but that would mean skipping and not earning Arrow of Light.
Does anyone know if there is a specific policy regarding whether a scout can be registered as a Cub Scout and a Boy Scout concurrently?
I asked council, they said a boy cannot hold multiple registrations in both Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. However, I have found that sometimes council will give you an answer without actually looking up the answer or confirming what the most current policy is .... So I am asking here.
