If you go to the chapel of the ward I grew up in, there is a plaque with all Eagle Scouts on it. I'm sure many of you have ones like it. My name is on it, with a date of over 20 years ago. I am almost certain there are less than 19 names from then to now. I think there are actually about a dozen.

I never got my Eagle. I got my Star and then quit scouting to the end that I didn't work on any merit badges though I still participated in it as a mutual activity when my schedule permitted.

No we don't. Plenty of the work for my Eagle Scout was done by other people.

Just look at all the 14 year old kids getting their Eagle Scout in Utah. Enough said.

I earned my Eagle Scout award as a fourteen year old. I'm sure my mom helped some, but we had a scout master who was pretty aggressive. Everybody in our troop earned their Eagle, most before they became priests.

To me it depends on what is being categorized as the "work". If we're saying that leaders, parents, etc. helping organize, prod, make sure the kids are doing what they need to, sure.

But I know of no situation where actual merit badge work, etc. was done by someone other than the schout.

We call troops like that Eagle Factories, and it's not intended as a compliment.

I was 14 when I received my Eagle Scout rank.

Of course, my dad was scoutmaster so I got it as quickly as I could in order to get out of scouting and doing other things.
