July 1 update: average $574,579 per TDP claim. [Still going up, could it be from the inflation increase?] For the TDP, 60% claims determined and 34% paid (19,778 paid) For the IRO, 33% claims determined and 14% paid (28 paid)  Without factoring in non-Matrix IRO payments, it's settling in around $33B needed to be fully funded. The Trust of course, having determined 63% of the claims, could probably give a better estimate.  If they keep on the pace of 5% of all claims determined each month, just seven more months plus or minus to be finished.  

Hopefully the WiFi is so bad that you won’t read this until the week ends. Have a hand time!

1) What was his record before the camp? Was he a "Scout" in the (minimum of how many years?) before he was passed as Eagle?  2) what was his "attitude" before the camp? Is Scouting something he does to please his dad/mom? Is it because he is (was?) trying to beat his brother/sister?  3) Family dynamics (see #1,#2).  Are there mom and dad issues?  5)  Would he rather be (sport/gang/Marines/anything but this sissy Scout stuff)?      I once helped a dad (newly divorced, it turned out) plan the Eagle CoH for his son.  I only knew the Scout by sight. The dad had a nice but simple  affair planned, formal invitations to family, friends, Troop.  The Scoutmaster was military and could not be there that day, but the ASMs did the good job.  I really have no idea why, but we had only about 15 people there, theoretically could have had thirty or forty with Scouts and family.  Words said, thoughts expressed, Scout/Eagle  Promise made, cookies eaten, and boom everyone left.  We never saw that Scout again at our Troop activities, altho he was only 16.  Thinking about it, I could envision this Scout basically saying to the dad:  "There, I did it, now get off my back."  

I would not recommend taking a break. Lower intensity, yes, taking a break, no. Cancelling anything is the kiss of death, skipping meetings leads to inconsistent attendance. 

Most likely the best case of action is to hold a scoutmasters conference. Let the scoutmaster get an idea of what is going on with the scout. You never know, maybe the scout was told something unexpected.
