Boy Scout Tenderfoot
Posted on Saturday, July 17th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Am I too old to one day become an Eagle Scout?
So…I did Boy Scouts for about 2 years, but I got tired of the people, so I quit. But now, a couple of years later at age 15 and a half, I’m wondering whether that was the right choice. I think working towards Eagle would both be impressive and fun to reach, but am I too old to one day reach it? I have 6 more requirements for Tenderfoot, 9 more for 2nd class, and 21 more for 1st class. Oh, and I already have a troop in mind, and I’ve already come up with an Eagle Project idea.
If you are 15 1/2 already, you are pushing the time needed pretty hard – but the possibility exists. You will need to *really* manage your time extremely effectively.
However…
The purpose of scouting isn’t to make Eagle Scouts. Its to give greater opportunities for young men to learn citizenship, to learn a love for the outdoors, to learn independence, and also working in teams and learning the skills of leadership.
Whether you make Eagle or not – these are all worthwhile.
Don’t worry too much about the Eagle project – get the *rest* of the requirements done. In particular, get all the requirements for First Class *done*. Dawdling and wasting time on some of those can mean that you won’t even make First Class – let alone have the time you need to serve as Star and Life before you could even really consider Eagle.
Get on it, kid!
