BOY SCOUT AGE REQUIREMENT CLARIFICATIONS
At the February National Executive Meeting of the Boy Scouts of America, 
the board amended the rules and regulations to clarify that no boy may join 
Boy Scouting until he reaches the age of 10.  This does not lower the age 
requirement.  The requirement previously stated that a boy must have 
completed the 5th grade or be age 11 or have earned the Arrow of Light to 
become a Boy Scout The new requirement states that a boy must have 
completed the 5th grade and be at least 10 years old, or be age 11, or have
 earned the Arrow of Light and be at least 10 years old The clarification 
became effective May 15th, 2004.
