Are Boy Scout contributions considered a Tax Deduction?

The question is really too vague to answer. Some types of contributions are, and others might not be. If there is any doubt in your mind, consult a tax professional (a CPA or Enrolled Agent).

The reason it gets sticky is that some local Boy Scout units are charted by organizations that are 501(c)(3) organizations, a few are 501(c)(3) organizations in their own right (though the national organization discourages this), and some are neither. Donations to 501(c)(3) organizations are usually deductible. Donations to other organizations might not be.

What percentage of boys become Boy Scouts?

I'm assuming numbers for the US (boy scouts are international).

According to Wikipedia there were 21,000,000 males age 10 -19 in 2000 in the US. Also according to Wikipedia there are 2,739,692 boy scout youths (age 11-17). That would indicate that more then 13% of boys are in scouting at a given time.

Assuming the birth rate didn't change much over the course of a decade, the number of boys age 11-17 should be about 7/10 of 21M or about 14.7M. That would make the percentage of boys in scouting 2.7M/14.7M or about 19%.

Counting boys who become scouts but drop out before their 17th birthday, the percentage would be even higher.

What year did the Arrow of Light become the highest rank in Cub Scouting?

When the Cub Scouts was first established in 1930 the three ranks were Wolf, Bear and Lion. In 1941 the WEBELOS badge was added for 10 year old boys who had finished the Lion badge (it went by age then - not school year as we do it today). Its symbol was what we now use for the Arrow of Light.

In 1967 the Lion Rank was dropped and the 10 year old Cubs were known as WEBELOS. The badge still looked like our Arrow of Light. Around 1972 they changed the name of the WEBELOS rank badge to the Arrow of Light.

The five ranks as we know them today, Bobcat, Wolf, Bear , WEBELOS, and Arrow of Light were established in in 1978.
