I think I cut it closer than most--way too close for comfort!

I had my board of review for my eagle the NIGHT before my 18th birthday. Talk about cutting it close...
 
I never did make it to Eagle, though I worked on an Eagle project for somebody else. I got my Star badge when I was fourteen, but changed churches and didn't find a new troop. It's one of the few things I regret in my life.
 
I'm almost Star now and i'm 15. But the stupid scoutmaster won't give me any leadership posistions so i cant get my 6 months.
 
I got my Eagle by finishing up citizenship in the community the week before I turned 18 back in 1994. For my project, I made a bunch of wooden Noah's Ark toys for the sunday school classes at the church where our troop held meetings. So many hours on the jigsaw!!

I would recommend offering to help the other leaders with their positions as much as possible. The scoutmaster will see how much leadership potential you have and put you in a position.
 
I got kicked out of the boy scouts.

Something about actually having to try to earn badges and not just go on camping trips to go fishing and hang out with friends. 😕

I can see it now, a 17 yr old Tenderfoot with two merit badges, fishing and camping
