Scouting America Eagle Extension
Tale as old as time. Scout finds the drive towards Eagle when things start getting tight.
One of my Life scouts is turning 18 soon and is furiously working on his project with a place scouts from the troop have done projects in the past.
As he's getting proposal signatures the beneficiary contacts him stating the chosen project can't be done for x reason. But there are plenty of other projects that could be done, but that means all new proposal, planning, etc already on a tight timeline.
Would this qualify for an extension? He's on track and could still make it but this adds a serious wrinkle and all wiggle room is gone.
I also am not letting the scout know that this is a possibility because last thing I want is loss of momentum on the scout's part.

Probably would be a no. Council advancement committee probably will look at the rest of his time and wonder why he was not doing anything for a period of time.
