Questiins on a Board of Review Star Scout
Forget that sit down-downward with the hiring supervisor at Subway. When it comes to life-irresolute interviews for a teenager, you can't top the Eagle Scout Lath of Review.
For some Scouts, the thought of answering a barrage of questions from adults is worse than a trip to the dentist. Turns out, though, that the Scout oftentimes isn't the simply nervous person in the room.
Hither's what Kathy, a Scouter from the Northeast, told me:

Kathy's certainly not the only one at a loss for words at a Lath of Review. So I asked our Facebook friends for their go-to questions.
Here are 40 to try the next time you're involved in this important final step on a young person's journey to Eagle:
