This discussion is extremely relevant to me, and I need some input from all of you. My son Ben will actually turn 10 in May. He will have earned his Arrow of Light by March and would like to join a selected Boy Scout Troop on the first week of June. His Den/Pack leaders are suggesting he participate in an AOL ceremony in February, with Webelos II's who are also getting AOL and Bridging to a Boy Scout Troop. They plan to give Ben the AOL in March. Since he's the only one who's planning to cross over in early June, what are the chances/expectations that he will actually get a crossover ceremony at all? Another question: once a scout has earned and been awarded the AOL, can he still earn additional belt loops and pins?
