My son’s troop has a scout who is Life at 13. He is an outstanding individual and very motivated. He will earn Eagle and several palms before he turns 18.
Our nation is full of bright, mature, dedicated exceptional young men who can do amazing things.
Too bad we have a government and society that dumbs them down.
Every now and then, a star emerges.

Haven't been in scouting for 40 years, but there is more to the program than accumulating every single merit badge. I think it only took about 21 to reach Eagle in my day, and I came up a little short.
There is the other aspects, of fun, leadership, OA, going crazy at camping, etc.
This sounds like someone either who is being pushed or is Badge OCD, and is missing out on all the fun.
