I think you'll find the Eagle will open doors for him as well, probably even more, because it is more well known than the Gold. Most of the boys in my son's troop earn their Eagle by 15. The sad part is, after a palm or two, most of them disappear so the troop always seems to be very young. Crowd control becomes more difficult as it's usually the older boys who balance out the younger, very active, boys.
