[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: Eagle Scout.  I talked with an admissions officer this morning.  She says she definitely looks for Eagles because of the drive, initiative, planning it takes to make it through the program plus the time and effort it takes to run an acceptable Eagle Project.  She says no one would ever look down on an Eagle because of politics in Boy Scouts USA and she made a comparison to something else (which, of course, i can't remember now) but it was along of the lines "we won't penalize your kid just because his parents are Republican."  Of course, I'm a Republican but she already knew that so we got a good laugh.[/quote]

Interesting about the Eagle Scout.  We attended several different Information Sessions on colleges where comments were made that Eagle Scouts won't be looked down on by any means but that the achievement doesn't carry the weight it used to.  Guess one could understand that but somewhat sad indeed.   I think its fairly consistent that it doesn't hurt but its not a "clincher" either.  [/quote]
