Eagle extension possibility - 2019

[Jameson76 1484]

 

Admin question: what if a Scout who is 16 to 17, realized that they could not get Eagle due to the calendar and they did not recharter, but then rejoined Scouts after 2/2019.  Would they be able to get the extension?  Also any work they had done would be recognized? 

Very small population for this possibility and the machinations to get done could be problematic.  Wonder how districts and councils may react to the possible gaming of the system?

No. To qualify for extension they must have never been registered as a Boy Scout. 

It should come up in the review process when the extension is requested. But it would not surprise me if some try and a few succeed in getting past the rules.

The Boy Scouts of America will welcome Scouts back after periods of inactivity. However, all time-oriented requirements must still be met. Scouts reactivating too late to complete time-related requirements will not be granted extensions, nor will those who remained active but simply did not focus on advancement.
