That's amusing, but a coup[le kids in my ward actually went TO Utah to do their eagle review because the board here is so tough (full of non-LDS scouters; hardcore guys that wear the red trimmed socks).

quick straw poll.....red-topped socks: fold over the tops or no?

As a young scout my red tops were folded over. As I got older, I started to rebel and not fold them over. Also, I would wear socks that were different shades of faded green. I just didn't care at that point.

I was a life scout at 16, with only an eagle project left, never did get my eagle. I just became to burned out and really didnt care. In fact I still dont have any regrets, my resume does but not me.

Spoken like a real scouter.

No kid earns his Eagle at 14 without his mom doing some of the work for him. And by some, I mean thinking up, coordinating, and basically completing almost all aspects of the eagle project.

LDS troops pass off badges en masse at ward campouts, mutuals, etc. It isnt very rigorous.
