EagleScout13

Just because someone is young does not mean they cannot be a skilled leader. I achieved the rank of Eagle Scout when I was 13 in 2006 and my troop saw me as such a good leader that they made me a junior assistant scout master. I basically became an adviser to all the senior patrol leaders helping them learn how to lead until I was 18. My troop did not allow me to run for senior patrol leader so that other scouts could learn the skills I already had since I would have been elected every time I ran. So yes I do think it is possible that a 12 year old could have the leadership skills associated with Eagle Scouts.
