BrentAllen Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I don't know if this has been discussed, but there was apparently a major error in the 2010 publications. The 12th Edition BS HB, 2010 Boy Scouts Requirements book, and on the scouting.org and BSAHandbook.org web sites. This is incorrect. From Scouting Magazine: Today's question comes from Arlene Freeman, a Scouter in Austin, Tex. She writes: Does the Bugler position fulfill the "position of responsibility" for Eagle Scout? If it does, when did the position become effective for Eagle rank? The simple answer is: No, it doesn't count as a position of responsibility. For the explanation, we went to Michael Lo Vecchio, program assistant for youth development. Here's his answer: Bugler is not a leadership position for Eagle Scout. It was inadvertently listed in the new 12th edition of the BSA Handbook, the 2010 Boy Scout Requirements book, and on the scouting.org and BSAhandbook.org Web sites. It has been removed from the Eagle Scout Rank Application. The sites and books are in the process of being updated. Thanks for the question, Arlene! http://blog.scoutingmagazine.org/2010/03/ask-the-expert-does-bugler-fulfill-the-position-of-responsibility-for-the-eagle-scout-award.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
