I assume that he may have withdrawn his name from nomination, as did I for all 4 (or 5) years I was eligible for personal and political reasons. Mostly, my troop chose to conduct elections for OA while seemingly not embracing the idea of the service that went along with their membership, I made my opinion on that attitude known, and that story wrote itself. After that, I spent too much time with school, church, robotics, and a mixed bag of family crises to add trying to get into OA.
I'm happy with my decision to forego that opportunity in favor of other ones I found better suited to me, but to each his own.
