rank. Can he make it up? My son had planned to spend a week with the boy scouts at camp earning badges and achieving the rank of tenderfoot. Well, he was so homesick, that he was miserable and after two nights, we had to pick him up. Now he is behind all of his friends, because they earned badges and achieved the rank of tenderfoot. My question is, can he make them up? and is it up to us to do the requirements with him or can I ask the scoutmasters to help... We are very new to scouting.... Thanks.
