Bar Mitzvah age- by which calendar?

The rabbi from my childhood was there for like 40 years until maybe fifteen years ago. The current one was chosen by the congregation that skews pretty old. To my knowledge it wasn’t an issue at all and if anything is a point of pride.

To start another related hijack, one of the perks of coming of age is that you can be a part of a minyan which is the ten adults needed to be able to hold a religious service. I was actually called upon once and wrote about it here.
