@gusmom2000: Your son should reach out to his home scoutmaster ASAP to start working a plan. He will need his troop leadership to evaluate where he is, exactly how much more he has to do, and how best to get there. They should also be able to determine how he can serve in troop leadership (breaks, summers, remotely, etc.). I’m sure you know, this is NOT your rodeo; he and his scoutmaster own this. ChoatieKid laid out his plan with leadership before he went to BS and worked his butt off every single summer and break to earn his award by the skin of his teeth with only a few days to spare before going back to BS for senior year and losing his eligibility (turning 18).
I posted the other day on the main board, that ChoatieSergeant considers his Eagle award his highest life achievement and scouting the most formative and deeply meaningful activity of his life so far. His Choate diploma and his appointment to USMA are both hung below his Eagle award, and I suspect Eagle will also trump his upcoming commission. When it looked like a distinct possibility that he might not get it all done that last summer, he was beyond distraught. He sobbed, “Choate was not worth this. I’ve made the biggest mistake of my life.” It did work out in the end, but he was in agony. He is a scout at heart, a scout for life.
Good luck to Guskid and feel free to PM me anytime as I don’t think there is a lot of traction for scouting on CC.
