Official scoring on runner - drop 3rd

[craig96]

With a runner on second, 0 outs, the batter swings at strike three, which gets away from the catcher. The batter is safe at first, the runner safe at third.

The scoring for the batter I believe is that he reached on an error, the pitcher gets a strikeout for his stats, but does the runner get credit for a stolen base?

In a younger grade where stealing is not allowed yet, should a runner be allowed to advance on a dropped third strike, or would this officially be considered a steal?

I just found this forum and plan to be a regular. How cool is this?
