W2 age boys in Scouts

Provide them the correct program until they are 11 years old or get the AOL.

 

 

IF a DE "ordered" me to do that I would be in his boss' office the next morning.

Those boys can no more be Boy Scouts right now than my grandmother can be. Neither the DE nor anyone else can change that. They can be Webelos visiting a troop. Buffalo's suggestion is excellent for many reasons and seems like a perfect solution if executed properly.

On another topic I learned that a cub scouts ages out of cubs at 12 yo.

 

A boy who is now in 4th grade came to our meeting Tuesday night. He is now 12 yo. He has been left back twice. In a call with the local council they confirmed this. They are requesting he find a Troop so he has a reasonable shot at rank, and not being a 14 yo Tenderfoot.

 

I'm not sure how this comment applies here, but thought I would share it.

Eghlie,

Thanks fo the post, you answered a question I was about to ask. We have an 11, soon to be 12yo in my pack. I thought you had to age out at 11. Looks like he has until Dec. to get his AOL.
