Sadly, there are some Eagles who don't earn it. I have heard of kids getting it who have connected parents. I know my boy earned every Merritt badge, but some kids get Eagle at really young ages who don't even know what badges they have. The parents should be ashamed.
What does the kid gain other than the great Eagle title? They are robbed. I wish the BSA would require a minimum age of 16 for Eagle.
Wow, I’m sorry to hear that is going on.
It certainly wasn’t in the Troop my son was in in his brief Scouting experience.
