== L. Ron Hubbard - Youngest Eagle Scout ==

That's kind of like saying someone was the youngest 12 year old.  Each rank has a particular set period of time at which you must remain before advancing to the next rank.  Overachievers advance to the next rank all the way to Eagle status on their first day of eligibility all the time.  If he did it, he was one of tens if not hundreds of thousands. - [[User:Immigrant laborer|Immigrant laborer]] ([[User talk:Immigrant laborer|talk]]) 23:24, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

:Either way the source is very weak at best......a self claim. <b style="color: #0000cc;">''North8000''</b> ([[User talk:North8000#top|talk]]) 01:08, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

== Primary sourcing ==

Whoever is reviewing this article should note the high amount of primary / non-independent sources cited and judge if all the content included is encyclopedic. 
Also, any information subject to change such as scholarship information needs to have an "as of" date ([[MOS:CURRENT]]). ([[User talk:Buidhe|t]] &#183; [[Special:Contributions/Buidhe|c]]) '''[[User:buidhe|<span style="color: black">buidhe</span>]]''' 16:57, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
:Not sure what you mean by primary sourcing.  When something is huge, decentralized and diverse, you can't lump everything with a relation to it into a monolith.  For example, for the [[Human]] article, you wouldn't call everything written by a human to be a primary source. <b style="color: #0000cc;">''North8000''</b> ([[User talk:North8000#top|talk]]) 17:09, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
::In this case, I mean sources that are published by Scouts BSA such as their official website, magazine, or press releases. ([[User talk:Buidhe|t]] &#183; [[Special:Contributions/Buidhe|c]]) '''[[User:buidhe|<span style="color: black">buidhe</span>]]''' 17:27, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

== Is it a rank or an award? ==

The lead is confusing. <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]&#124;[[User talk:Piotrus|<span style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> reply here</span>]]</sub> 11:18, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
