Actually, what I've *never* gotten an answer to was whether Cub Scouting experience qualified a brother. One of the reasons that the Scouting requirement was dropped by Con-Con was that some chapters were willing to fulfill the scouting requirement for any man who wanted to pledge by registering them as part of the "College Scouting Reserve" or simply as a Merit Badge Representative (for an easy badge like Basketry or Leatherwork). This only cost an additional $5 and was simply added on to the fees that the pledge paid at initiation. (or at pledging if the chapter was particularly organized. )
Bill Clinton had *zero* experience at a Boy Scout. He was however a Cub Scout.
