I joined Boy Scouts in November of 1964. As the son of a longtime Boy Scout and Scouter, and grandson of a Scouter, I am surprised that I didn't join Boy Scouts a year earlier when I turned 11; but Dad and Granddad wisely let me come to the BSA on my own rather than pushing me to join. Thanks to a superb troop program and nine weeks (3 summers) at Scout summer camp, I made Eagle in September 1967, and then switched over to Exploring where I remained until aging out. I became a member of the OA's Musketahquid Lodge in June of 1967; and I received the Vigil Honor 3 years later.
