[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Earn the Eagle Rank in Scouts BSA or the Gold Award in Girl Scouts. They both show a level of dedication and commitment that is multi year and community involved. [/quote]

There are many thousands of students with these awards.[/quote]

They are a small percentage of participants that earn these awards. There are more in this area because there are entire Troops (through BSA and Girl Scouts) that are established to guide kids to Eagle or the Gold Award because it is recognized as one real way to stand out on an application. You might be aware of lots of kids who have achieved these ranks because you are on a specific forum that discusses acceleration, attendance of a competitive magnet school, and are concerned about kids attending an Ivy League school.

We are involved in BSA and I promise you, Eagle is not easily achieved or achieved by most of the kids in our Troop. I can think of 3 Troops that we looked at who pretty much guarantee Eagle in 3-4 years but those are not the majority of the Troops, even in NoVA.  [/quote]
