Hey guys, Mac Guzman here. This video is a status update on my journey to Eagle Scout in only 24 months as of April 6, 2019.. Here is an overview of my status in the new Scouts BSA: Still First Class Rank until 4 month waiting period. Appointed Senior Patrol Leader. 4/7 Scout Ranks. 4/16 Leadership positions. 9/21 Merit Badges (MB). A secret hack is to attend a Merit Badge University which I did offered by Alpha Phi Omega Alpha Gamma Rho. Another way to earn them is to have your Troop start them as a group which I did with the Art Merit Badge. If you are taking Music in school, I think the easiest one to earn is the Music Merit Badge..

Don’t want to take away from his Eagle claim, but I was actually awarded my Eagle in the minimum time possible back in 1964. Wanted to beat my older brother who was also an Eagle. Two years exactly with the wait times, and 21 merit badges, if one does the math. They actually held my award for 5 days because I joined on my birthday May 5th. Maybe the timelines have shifted since then. Anyway, achieving the rank of Eagle is a great accomplishment for any young man, regardless of the amount of time that it takes to earn it. So congrats to all of you that walked the path and a special thanks to all of the adult men that took the time to help us along the way.
Times have changed. In 1963, Richard Moser (Troop 440, Owings Mills, Maryland) became the youngest Eagle Scout at age 13. It required an Act of Congress (BSA is federally chartered, this was before “private acts” were banned by a change in the House Rules) for him to waiver one “oops” along the way, he had advanced from Tenderfoot to Second Class a few weeks less than required time in rank (he met the time in rank requirements for all other ranks).

Wow 1 year to becom a eagel! So this higest rank is a joke then? 1 year also 20 nights at camping? Easy! 25 badges! Easy! Help poor people? Easy or elderley home easy!
Cit in the Nation boi. I went to BSA summer camp and got the merit badge in 4 days (it would be a partial due to the historical landmark requirement but i got that done back in april not even knowing it was part of the merit badge)
You are cool It is sad the alphas of the world cause this sort of exchange we should be able to say what we mean and means what we say. It is why things are popular for a flash and they quickly move on to the next thing. It is very expensive trying to stay on the tip of the spear. But sometimes it’s better to be that sleeper that one nobody expected to be something. The old speak softly and carry a big stick either way they will get the message. I am cool if I didn’t care I wouldn’t talk.
yes that is impressive.. however it is not about how many merit badges you have its about who you are as a person that make you a good scout. in this particular story the young man seems (although he has earned the right to be) boastful and slightly cocky. which are certainly not good qualities. no matter how many badges you have earned if you are an eagle scout you are equal with all other eagle scouts.
Mathematically speaking, that’s impossible. He needs AT LEAST (at a bear minimum) 1 year and four months leadership and activity in scouting. Yes, but apparently he started when he was 10 years old, so he could get it by 11. Although then there is the question, why did he start at 10 and not 11 like most of (or the rest of) us?
FOR EVERYONE ABOUT TO COMMENT: THIS SCOUT DID IN FACT COMPLETE EAGLE TIME REQUIREMENTS ADD UP TO ROUGHLY A YEAR AND HE WAS A SCOUT FOR A YEAR AND 9 MONTHS. He probably did merit badges throughout his time and he is the youngest Eagle Scout. HOWEVER this is not the scouting way, we don’t simply rush kids through to get Eagle. We encourage them to grow and learn and develop leadership. You learn from experiences in scouting and although he may be of a higher rank, that means nothing to us scouts. Experience counts for everything and I’d much rather have an 18 yr old tenderfoot than an 11 yr old Eagle Scout.
Their scoutmaster clearly just let him get the ranks for free, you need at least 6 months of activity and attending camputs after each rank besides the first 2 ranks, but there are still another 4 before eagle.
This is BS. It takes at least a year and a half because there are two 6 month waits and one 4 month wait. Plus all the time it takes to work on merit badges. Also citizenship in the nation was hard for him, I did it in almost 3 days.
I’m with Matt Mirmak on this. I am an eagle scout at 16. It is physically impossible to do this, you have to be in certain ranks for a minimum of 6 months. And not to mention the long and hard Merit Badges you have to do.
I’m a 12 year old Boy Scout, only at the first class rank. Congrats on this and all but this should be a long, unforgettable journey, learn to enjoy it.
This kid is what is so sorely missing in today’s world. He has pride, ethics, determination and obvious dedication. As a former Scout and Long Islander, I am incredibly proud of this young man and know he will make us all very proud in the future no matter what endeavor he pursues.
The fact he named his grandparents just makes this so much more special. His family must be beaming with pride. This kid is so damn special
he can do it. with the time requirements, it only takes a year and four months total to wait from 1st class to eagle. so he pretty much had no other life than scouts for about 2 years. (he completed at 11yrs and 11 months). I myself got to life scout at 13 and was going to achieve the troop record by obtaining my eagle scout the same year, but I was heavily encouraged not to because my troop and council favor older candidates. fast forward now and I am 17 yrs old just now submitting my paperwork. I spent 3 whole years on my project clearing and establishing a roughly 2 mi trail on my school’s property. I chose to use the extra time I had left over to do something more meaningful and lasting with my opportunity, rather than just cash out with an easier project. not saying that he didn’t meet the requirements or anything like that, so those who are doubting stop because what he did was totally possible, but I am sure his project, although I’m sure, not easy, was definitely not as large as It could have been considering the time he had left.
I’m 16 and working on life scout, explain to me how he was able to do this because he is one of the many who gets mom and dad to sign everything off. Plus citizenship in the nation is definitely not the hardest. Try lifesaving or communication merit badge. I hate to see this kid rush through and absoutley waste his scouting experience.
Damn that is very impressive, this is something that he could use for anything, school, life, job applications, and is a great experience in life, people who say get a life, this is a great way of life, he can become a great job, this obviously shows he is very good at different things
he seems a bit off socially but that’s amazing he earned so many different badges, a truly amazing accomplishment. He seems like he’s gonna be pretty successful in whatever he chooses to do.
HOW SAD FOR A YOUNG MAN,, HE NEEDS TO GET A PROPER LIFE,,,,,,FIND A GIRL FRIEND, AND DO WHAT NORMAL LADS DO,, YOU NEED TO BREAK AWAY AND LIVE,,,,,,,,l am not saying this to be nastie, think about it with an open mind you are still young,,
LOL Impressive as it is, did you have to getEVERY single one? The idea is to give scouts a choice of an AREA of interest and pursue those. Your grizzled outdoorsmen will go for those badges and your craftsmen, likewise, and there are plenty that fit into each “genre”, so to speak. The Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal etc. but not Perfect. The lack of perfection is what we want to teach in scouting, and how to do the very best you can at everything. Merit Badges are only one point of the Scouting Method. To the geek who said:”get a life”: I’d have him overindulge in Merit Badges any day rather than methamphetamine. Go turn off your console game and get a life.
think eagle scouts boy camp keep follow at mountains valley easten the boys don’t gay who come not love ever we are work to eagle scouts to flag America not flag gay marriage never any change friend not gay scouts forever bless America our liberty,
Not only is this kid not a true eagle scout because of the actual requirements, but I feel like this is scripted because the guy asked the kid about the quiz and he said ok like he didnt know what he was doing instead of saying right or yes
Ok, first of all this guy not only earned every merit badge availed in the BSA he also earned the BSA’s highest rank. Eagle Scout. This guy will be sought after by a lot of companies/work places. He will go VERY far in life. So before you say “get a life” keep in mine that he’ll have more of a life than most people.
Again sorry if I sounded like I was trashing the guy but I was only trying to be positive, albeit an in odd way…
In my own defense I’ve had several of my adopted sons young friends run away from home so they could try to live with us so…I must have been doing something right.
We were both on the same page but using different languages:)
Getting Eagle Scout is not a race I got mine just recently and I joined when I was eleven (started in cub scouts). Now first off you have to wait about six months between ranks you can’t just get star and I don’t know work for life in a month you gotta wait so I have no idea how this kid got it at his age. Either way I think Scouts should enjoy the journey of getting the rank and not rush through it
I was a cub scout for like 2 months my mom will be on the phone for hours and during that time I had her just sign away on the Task book, within two months i had more badges I looked like a 4 star General �� meanwhile i wouldnt last 10 min in the woods of course they found out and kicked me out,,
Nah this kid isnt an eagle at 11 between each rank there is a certain amount of time you must be active in the troop so that slows people down a lot it’s not possible to become eagle at 11
What in the world is that insignia under his Friends of Scouting patch on his left side? Looks very similar to the U.S. Cavalry insignia. I’ve never seen anything like that in the scouting program.
This is fraud! There is no way this kid did this following the BSA regulations! All the community service hours, merit badges, 20 camp outs, and we are not talking about camping out in the back yard either! You have do do a minimum amount of time from the rank of Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class Scout, First Class Scout, Star Scout, Life Scout and then Eagle! Flat out BULLSHIT!
In this boys own words he earned eagle in one year. Impossible.
First the failure of the troops adult leadership for allowing this to happen. A scout is required to complete the requirements as written no more or less.
The second is the failure of this scout to the scout law. Very clearly he short cut many of the requirements. The easiest to see is the leadership position tenure requirements. The second less obvious is the time requirements for merit badge requirements.
It is a shame the troop, district, council and national bsa leadership failed this young man.
It takes one month for Tenderfoot Requirement 6b One monthfor Second Class 7a One month for First Class 8a 4 months for Star 1 6 months for Life 1 6 monthes for eagle one Plus campouts and merit badges, leadership positions, eagle project, and service, this would take well over at least 3 (maby less if you just rushed and did not join the OA), not 1.
Bs. Parents obviously rushed him. Its a journey, not a race. They probably just forced him to get it. And almost every rank requires atleast 6 months so this is so ridiculous
I thought I would explain how it was possible for him to become an Eagle even at his young age. One can join the Boy Scouts program if they are eleven OR completed fifth grade/completed arrow of the light. It takes a minimum of about a year and a half to complete all the rank requirements.
This is physically impossible because there are requirements starting that for example you must be a star scout for 6 months a life scout for 6 more months and so on the minimum age for the boy scouts is 11 so this could not be done and is fake
Nice video and la no Che I went to last year in June of 2018 and I’m currently a patrol leader, only scout rank(working on tenderfoot) and elections have just happened recently in our troop, and I recently got elected as the webmaster
Don’t worry the Omegas have had to let you guys win not because we can’t but because we feel who cares? I heard a guy in a suicide note tell his kids not to reach for a brass ring when they can reach for a gold one? I say why reach for a ring? I reach for anything it will be something that will do me some good like some fruit. No wonder he killed himself he placed his value upon a status symbol rather than compare his life to that of a man 100 years prior. Altitude latitude/gratitude attitude?
All Merit badges are earned. You can’t just “snag” badges, you need to learn the skill. I know because I’m in Boy Scouts. It’s not easy to earn most Merit badges.
Sorry. One does not become an Eagle Scout in there first year in Boy Scouting. There are required ranks, up to 5 before Eagle and each requires at least a year each of activities done to earn that rank.
He may be good at memorizing things and his parents peeped him but my troop was devolved because they were allowing this I went on a camp out and they were going to let me have 12 test. At that rate I would have been an Eagle Scout in two months
What about the waiting times??? This is fake there’s no way this happened that quick it takes at least a year and a half from waiting and then leadership Ik 13 and almost at eagle and I have. To wait six months to get my life rank badge
I stayed up late last night to make sure I had this video set to release at noon today. I made a lot of progress so far this year. I am ahead of schedule to earn my Eagle in less than two years. Stay tuned for next week’s video premiering at Noon Saturday!
“helped them all get through this “rough ” omg did she really just say that?! Lady put her foot in her own mouth and she didn’t even realize it!!!! And judging from the comments it doesn’t seem anyone else noticed it either!!! Poor choice of words at best! �� hahaha Wow! I guess he earned 122 “Patches” now. You know including the “Rough Patch.” Ouch… CBS!
I mean it’s good to be involved with Scouts and do merit badges but the point is to guide you in different interest areas and possibly help in choosing a career, although earning every merit badge is impressive, it defeats the purpose of what the merit badges are all about.
Be kind. This young man has achieved more than most adults. He deserves respect for his hard work and commitment. Nobody “snags” a merit badge. All honors in BSA are earned. Congratulations. WWW (Tsisqan)
Glad you aren’t the senior patrol leader in my troop. Your pride seems to be directly in your way. You display a lack of serious leadership skills. As senior patrol leader you should be doing more than anyone else. You are a servant, not the “highest power”. Your whole premise goes against everything scouts values.
Don’t want to take away from his Eagle claim, but I was actually awarded my Eagle in the minimum time possible back in 1964. Wanted to beat my older brother who was also an Eagle. Two years exactly with the wait times, and 21 merit badges, if one does the math. They actually held my award for 5 days because I joined on my birthday May 5th.

4 months for Star 1
6 months for Life 1
6 monthes for eagle one
Plus campouts and merit badges, leadership positions, eagle
project, and service, this would take well over at least 3 (maby less if you just rushed and did not join the OA), not 1.
Bs. Parents obviously rushed him. Its a journey, not a race. They probably just forced him to get it. And almost every rank requires atleast 6 months so this is so ridiculous
I thought I would explain how it was possible for him to become an Eagle even at his young age. One can join the Boy Scouts program if they are eleven OR completed fifth grade/completed arrow of the light. It takes a minimum of about a year and a half to complete all the rank requirements.
This is physically impossible because there are requirements starting that for example you must be a star scout for 6 months a life scout for 6 more months and so on the minimum age for the boy scouts is 11 so this could not be done and is fake
Nice video and la no Che I went to last year in June of 2018 and I’m currently a patrol leader, only scout rank(working on tenderfoot) and elections have just happened recently in our troop, and I recently got elected as the webmaster
Don’t worry the Omegas have had to let you guys win not because we can’t but because we feel who cares? I heard a guy in a suicide note tell his kids not to reach for a brass ring when they can reach for a gold one? I say why reach for a ring? I reach for anything it will be something that will do me some good like some fruit. No wonder he killed himself he placed his value upon a status symbol rather than compare his life to that of a man 100 years prior. Altitude latitude/gratitude attitude?
All Merit badges are earned. You can’t just “snag” badges, you need to learn the skill. I know because I’m in Boy Scouts. It’s not easy to earn most Merit badges.
Sorry. One does not become an Eagle Scout in there first year in Boy Scouting. There are required ranks, up to 5 before Eagle and each requires at least a year each of activities done to earn that rank.
He may be good at memorizing things and his parents peeped him but my troop was devolved because they were allowing this I went on a camp out and they were going to let me have 12 test. At that rate I would have been an Eagle Scout in two months
What about the waiting times???
This is fake there’s no way this happened that quick it takes at least a year and a half from waiting and then leadership Ik 13 and almost at eagle and I have. To wait six months to get my life rank badge
I stayed up late last night to make sure I had this video set to release at noon today. I made a lot of progress so far this year. I am ahead of schedule to earn my Eagle in less than two years. Stay tuned for next week’s video premiering at Noon Saturday!
“helped them all get through this “rough” omg did she really just say that?! Lady put her foot in her own mouth and she didn’t even realize it!!!! And judging from the comments it doesn’t seem anyone else noticed it either!!! Poor choice of words at best! �� hahaha Wow! I guess he earned 122 “Patches” now. You know including the “Rough Patch.” Ouch… CBS!
I mean it’s good to be involved with Scouts and do merit badges but the point is to guide you in different interest areas and possibly help in choosing a career, although earning every merit badge is impressive, it defeats the purpose of what the merit badges are all about.
Be kind. This young man has achieved more than most adults. He deserves respect for his hard work and commitment. Nobody “snags” a merit badge. All honors in BSA are earned. Congratulations. WWW (Tsisqan)
Glad you aren’t the senior patrol leader in my troop. Your pride seems to be directly in your way. You display a lack of serious leadership skills. As senior patrol leader you should be doing more than anyone else. You are a servant, not the “highest power”. Your whole premise goes against everything scouts values.
