Have kid cross over or repeat AOL year?

ETA: So the ambiguity over whether he's in grade 4 or 5 is because he is homeschooled, and in the state he's in, there's no requirement to be in any grade. If you go based on when he started school, and assuming he progresses one grade every year, he's in grade 5. He technically did kinder-second in public school, but only second grade was a 5 day a week regular public school. Kinder and first was a charter school that basically covered your governmental requirements, but you did the vast majority of the teaching/academics like a homeschooler would. If you go based on age and what grade he'd likely be assigned to if he started public school now (without previous public school records) he's grade 4. He's doing grade 4 coursework for the most part.

another ETA: he completed Webolo last school year (2023-2024 with a different pack), which is why he started with AOL this school year (2024-2025), but even then, it was kinda a personal call. We were given the option of going with Webolo again or doing AOL. At that point, the decision was made to go with AOL since Webolo and AOL were together, and then re evaluate later on.

Currently have a 10 year old, like 10.25 years old, who is an AOL. The pack we are with has the Webolos and AOL combined. There's some ambiguity over whether he's in grade 4 or 5 currently, but I'd like to made the decision independent of his school grade level.

There's one AOL crossing over this year, maybe 2-3(?) crossing over next year. I just found out recently they haven't really done many of the requirements, which I had been assuming they were working on at the weekly meetings. It seems like they've mostly been preparing for competitions, so lots of knot tying, not much of anything else. The leader for Webolo/AOL would be the same person it was this year.

I'm not sure if we should have him cross over this year or hold off another year. He's on the very younger side of an AOL since he started kinder, and thus, lion, a year early. We just joined this pack, so he really wouldn't know anyone except that one kid at troop. But also, we're probably going to move in the next few years, so he'd have all new people at that point.

I'm also not sure about his maturity for going to troop. But I'm not sure if that's just parental worry that I need to deal with or if it's legitimate concern about putting him in troop.

I know it was long winded and wordy, but I'd appreciate any thought processes on how to decide or things to consider either way.
