Yes, and he should if there is a clear medical indication that circumcision is the best course of action. Of course he will consult with more than one doctor and will become fully informed about the risks and benefits before doing it. He should know that as a routine procedure done on infants, there is virtually never an indication of medical need at the time it is done. It is just routine, and is more about reducing very slightly the possibility of various problems during later years that are already very low in incidence.

The prepuce/foreskin has been found to have immunological benefits, and to actually prevent against urethritis.

The US circumcision rate for newborn males is down, by some estimates, to 33%. There is a reason that health plans will not cover circumcision in infants: it is not medically indicated. On the other hand, circumcision may be indicated treatment for some conditions in older males, but should be considered a last resort. Why would you want to be circumcised? Is there a medical indication? If there is a medical indication for circumcision, are there any other therapies or treatments that might help you while leaving otherwise healthy and functioning tissue intact?

Adult men who are thinking about circumcision need to ask some serious questions and get several professional opinions. If there is no need to remove healthy, functioning tissue from your penis, please consider leaving it alone.

What does Paul say about circumcision?

He notes that certain people getting circumcised and boasting about it are not obeying the law and therefore have their priorities wrong. He advises that the most important thing is to become a new creation in Jesus not circumcision. The context is that Paul had advised adult converts that they don't need to get circumcised in order to become Christians. As the first Christians were Jewish and were therefore circumcised it was assumed that to join them circumcision was required by adult male converts. However Paul considered that getting circumcised as an adult (no anaesthesis in those days) was a much heavier burden than the apostles had had (being Jewish they had been circumcised close to birth and wouldn't even remember it). Therefore he didn't consider it necessary for them to get circumcised in order to belong to the religion.

Is it true that most boy scouts are circumcised like you?

Circumcision is usually a choice made by the parents of the boy though some adult men get circumcised later in life. Most have their son circumcised for cleanliness reasons or because of their religion. Not everyone is circumcised and it is definitely not something group based like boy scouts. I'm sure there are boys in your group who still have their foreskin.
