I know up until around 1965 it was possible for an adult to earn the eagle rank. Out of the first nine eagles earned, at least one was an eagle scout. I know some of the arguments for and against allowing this. On the for side, greater parental involvement, parents can earn the rank alongside their son, especially good in first generation scouting. On the against side, less of a drive to achieve the rank as a youth since they can always earn it later on.
What I would suggest is an in-depth exploration of the pros and cons of recycling the concept of adult eagles, possible changes in requirements, different knot to signify difference, and so on. I for one am in favor of the idea or at least exploring it further.
