Is it just scouting that must be abandonned when you go to college or do you feel that way about other activities too? |
| Don't abandon the affiliation entirely. Our national law firm essentially will hire any Eagle Scout who has a good law school record. The practice has served us well in the past and will be even more effective when we start to see the female Eagles coming through. People who were that persevering in high school are even more so with a law degree. |
When you get to college you can always add to what you are and what you love to do. No different than a high schooler who played varsity tennis in high school and continues to play on a club team in college and beyond. I will also add: if you college kid is looking for a freshman year roommate, a fellow Eagle Scout is a great choice! |
It’s an extraordinary accomplishment for a high schooler and the lessons learned in honesty, hard work, ability to plan and execute stay with them for life. That’s why and Eagle Scout is always an Eagle Scout. And Eagle Scouts do pay it back by becoming troop leaders, as my DH did, volunteering and doing h scout-related charity work |
