And I bet it'll make Judy smile, too, if she hasn't already heard it:

My Way News - Fla. Man, 88, Becomes an Eagle Scout

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) - More than a half-century after he finished the requirements to earn the rank, an 88-year-old man was honored as an Eagle Scout on Saturday, making him possibly the oldest person to ever collect the honor.


Walter Hart couldn't become an Eagle Scout at the time he earned the rank because his service in World War II got in the way.


"I've been looking forward to this for a long time," said Hart, who lives in a retirement center in nearby Lehigh Acres.
