I mean… it was a subset but I wouldn’t say small by any means. at least for my broke ass family, we really struggled to send me to the weekend and summer camps you generally need to attend to get all the badges to get eagle in time. it’s definitely something not every family can afford.
Thank you for adding your perspective. I’m probably more privileged than most, and I’m fairly new to scouting so I mostly only know what they’ve told me!
Exactly. You only need a small subset of the 100+ available badges to advance ranks, even for Eagle Scout.
