I agree! This is something I do want! I want to get Eagle, I just wish I could get my licence also. I could understand a little more if I was 17 and I hadn't even started thinking about Eagle. I am though, I started the process with my scout master and I have an idea picked out.

Hi I am new to this forum and I have a problem. I am currently 16 and a Life Scout. I am dealing with a problem which is most likely a popular problem among scouts, but more obviously less important to adults. I am dealing with the no license till Eagle Scout rule. Now some people might now start asking, "Why don't you just get eagle", or "What did you do that make your parents want to withhold your license." Well that is my problem, I am working on my eagle, but it is not a do it in one day type of thing. I am not a spoiled brat, I don't expect my parents to buy me a car, or gas, or anything like that. I always buy my own stuff and my parents trust me a lot. When I asked my parents why, they said that they wanted to motivate me to get eagle. I have until I am 18 and I am starting to work on it right now. It would give me more motivation if I could get my license already. I just need some advice to see if I can get my license. I am in 10th grade and I have always been a little older then everyone else, and I couldn't wait till I was 16 to get my license. Now every one is getting theirs and wondering why I don't have mine, and I have to explain that I am not in trouble I just have to get Eagle. I really need some advice, and please don't give me the just get eagle, or the talk to your parents. I have tried talking to them, I just need some good reasoning for me to use. Also please don't give me the, "They are probably scared of you driving." They are not, I have ridden 4wheelers for years by myself in the woods and with friends, they are fine with me driving.
