Hello,
Has anyone came across this or a similar situation on age vs grade of cubs? I have a child joining who is currently in the 3rd grade as a 10 year old and will be 11 this coming January. According to the official rules, he should be a Webelos getting ready for Boy Scouts. Both he and his parents want him to be in the Bears with his friends & classmates. I found it interesting that his sports teams go off grade only, not age, so staying with his friends has not came up previously. I talked very briefly with the scout office and they were hesitant about making any recommendations and are supposed to get back with me. The official rules say Webelos, but they were looking into any exceptions. They were concerned about him being 2 grades lower than most kids entering Boy Scouts.
Thanks in advance
