[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about non-competitive kids that aren't into sports? Boy Scouts is a great outlet for them. In today's day and age, for a kid to be camping out under the stars without cellphones is priceless. I think colleges appreciate this aspect of it. The non-future lax playing finance bro who loves nature/environment, what a refreshing change! [/quote]

Camping and hiking are leisure activities, not accomplishments.[/quote]

Says someone who clearly has never experienced any challenging ones. Why do people who know nothing about the experience bother chiming in with their baseless assertions? [/quote]

The most "challenging" camping we did in scouting was hiking a day into the woods, set up camp with latrine and everything, camp a few days, work on a few merit badges, do some fun activities, break camp, and then hike back out.

Eagle scout is not trivial but it's not much more impressive than a black belt or a varsity sport.[/quote]
