FScouter Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I consider the requirements for the Scout badge to be separate from the Arrow of Light. The fact that he earned AOL doesn't mean he is immediately presented with the Scout badge. I want to see him run through those requirements as soon as he joins the troop. Surprisingly (or not) I've had new boys with the AOL on their shirt that can't tie a square knot or recite the pledge of allegiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Old Guy Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 We had a group of new Scouts a couple years ago who had never heard of the Scout Oath or Scout Law. It seems that the AOL was just handed to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twocubdad Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I don't believe the Scout badge should be given to an AoL Scout automatically, but any boy who has completed AoL knows all the material required for Scout. If the troop is ready, there is no reason a boy can't receive his Scout badge at his first troop meeting. The requirements for Scout aren't the same as AoL. In many respects, AoL goes beyond Scout and covers some of the Tenderfoot material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
