New Eagle Scout

Thank you EHCAlum for that story.
To me part of the magic of tartans are when they have a special meaning.
Is the soon to be Eagle scout is in the states or Scotland ?

State. Eagle Scout is the BSA highest rank, akin to Gold Award for Girl Scouts. The UK equivalent is the Queen's Scout.

Congratulations to your son. Last year I piped the son of a Lodge brother into his Court of Honor to receive his Eagle. Nice ceremony

My son is sixteen, and I have another at 14 who can finish up by December.
I do know about young Eagle scouts, but with today's society I would rather they go for it early and get it than fall out of Scouting.
Sometimes I laugh when I hear we cannot wear certain tartans here in the States, we wear what makes us feel good, proud and sucessful.

Congrats to them. I don't have a problem with younger Eagles in general, just troops that are more like Eagle Mills. I used to work with one like that.

Personally I have been involved in scouting for over 20 years as a youth and adult.
