A Life Scouts' Procrastination Towards Eagle Scout

A Life Scouts' Procrastination Towards Eagle Scout

Many scout leaders are frustrated with life scouts procrastinating towards their goal of becoming an Eagle Scout. Many factors affect young people's choices regarding time management. Scout leaders and mentors need to teach basic time management skills toward the youth's achievement of their goals. Young people need to have the basic skills to manage their time with short-range goals to achieve larger long-range goals. The closer a scout gets to their 18th birthday the anxiety levels tend to go way up if they are not managing their time. All scouts must have all of the requirements completed before their 18th birthday otherwise they will not be able to become an Eagle Scout. Life rank scouts think that they can get some kind of last-minute extension or some kind of do-over. Life rank scouts end up aging out of the ability to achieve Eagle Scout for the rest of their lives with this misconception. Video: https://youtu.be/WIdv6RyEq7U

For some this is a relief for many others it is a form of homesickness known as “mobilesickness”. For many youths, the Fear Of Missing Out known as FOMO has become challenging. Often insecure young people check their media connections far too often in a day. This is incredibly distracting and disruptive. What are we to do in Scouting?
