First, let's clarify what a bar mitzvah actually is. On a Jewish boy's 13th birthday he becomes a bar mitzvah, there is no ceremony necessary for this to happen, it's automatic. Now, when a boy becomes a bar mitzvah, one of the traditions is for him to publicly read from the Torah as this is a responsibility held by Jewish adults. However, any Jewish male who is not circumcised is not allowed to be the person who reads the Torah portion publicly. Therefore, if a Jewish boy is not circumcised, he cannot participate in the ceremony associated with becoming a bar mitzvah.
