You're 13, which means you're one or two years into eligibility for being a Boy Scout. IIRC, it's ages 12-17 inclusive. Cub Scouts have dens, and the military really doesn't care what you did there. But you've got five years to make Eagle Scout, or whatever the equivalent is in CAP; I know they've got some sort of Mitchell Award or somesuch. I'd highly recommend pursuing one of these if you are serious about being in the military.lol I use to be a boy scout. But then my Den number became inactive and people stopped coming and yeah...
Oh hell yeah. This forum is chock full of pro pilots.
Being commissioned as an officer is a very long-term goal for you right now. You're as far away from it now as you are from being in preschool. Earning your Eagle or equivalent from CAP is a big plus on your resume, because it shows leadership potential, long-term commitment, and at least a little maturity. And you can start working on it now.
If I were you, I'd think about finding a troop and at least giving it a shot. There might be one associated with the pack your den was a part of. If the pack folded, look around or do some Google searching to find one. If you want to be an officer, individual initiative and being a self-starter are essential.
