eolesen 10 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 What happened was the kid earned his Life rank early, and then checked out of the program once he hit high school. Fast forward to senior year, college applications and scholarship applications... Wanting to round out his accomplishments, he resurfaces, decides to recharter a month or so before his 18th birthday, and wants to fast-track some elective merit badges and his project. He'd earned all of his white-ringers early, so there was really nothing that made this Mission Impossible. The SM gave them the Eagle workbook when he resurfaced, so ignorance wasn't an issue. It was ignoring the policy that killed his chances. Sad part about it was that the project plan he put together and the project as a whole (rehabbing a public park) was a good one, and easily achievable within the timeframe he had. The approvals would have been possible in time, and completing the project could have been done with a few days to spare... Link to post Share on other sites
LongHaul 10 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Could be wrong but the Scout does not sound like an Eagle Scout, just a boy that was looking to obtain the Eagle rank. Hopefully he has learned that in life if you are looking for the recognition with out doing the work you need to cover your.... posterior exposure. LH Link to post Share on other sites
evmori 11 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I would agree LH. And looks like he is gonna end up doing a service project instead of an Eagle project. Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10 Link to post Share on other sites
