What was the Highest Rank in the Boy Scouts

[PaulX608]

I made Life and ran out of time with two required MBs left to get. I guess I had too many things going on at the time. Brotherhood member of the OA(the original WWW!), was a field sports counselor at the Scout Camp in Goshen, VA in 1987. Attended the 75th anniversary National Jubilee at Fort A.P. Hill. Loved the scouts, but I doubt I'll get back into it. Both my sons are pretty much grown and neither had any interest in scouting. I was in a couple very active troops who had private land on which we'd shoot, hunt, canoe, climb, and do lot's of other things without be bothered by anyone. Got my NAUI Open Water Diving classification at the High Adventure Sea Base in Islamorada, FL in '86.

Is an Eagle Scout the same as a Queen's Scout, or is it something like a Senior Scout or Rover Scout?

The Eagle Scout rank is the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America. The Palm are five merit badges and three months of service per palm after Eagle.

I hope that helps you out.

Thanks, but not really. As a Queen's Scout where would I fit into the American scheme of things?

I did Cub ccouts and Webolos and reallly enjoyed it. When I turned 11 I went into the Boy Scouts. Our Scoutmaster was a Jr. High school gym teacher "coach" and was the stereotypical kind of guy who would pick on smaller kids who were less good at team sports. A real A$$.

I quit and have never had much respect for the BSA since then. Only my opinion.
