Just my 2c.
Just to clarify, the Boy Scouts of America program is for boys aged 11 to 17. At age 18, a "boy" is no longer eligible to be a scout. If he continues with a troop, it is as an adult leader, and he undergoes the same checks as other adult leaders. It's not as if scouts fall into under/over age 18 categories, and only the ones over age 18 are required to have checks done.
