[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer the original question: Not to universities who are seeking Eagle Scouts.[/quote] [b]BINGO! If you can get your child to stick with it through HS, they will reap the benefits. Not all kids retain that level of interest, though. Along the same line, I will admit that my rising 3rd grader who made AAP will be in a homeroom class with a lot of his den-mates; there seems to be an uncanny correlation.[/quote][/b] I truly believe that Eagle Scout was what got DS into UVA, along with four of his friends. Universities are looking for self-starters who can take care of themselves and others. Who have demonstrable leadership capabilities? Eagle Scout indicates this. Universities really don't want snowflakes who will create problems for them. Eagle Scout (I've heard) is an auto "in" at the U.C. Cal system (providing you have all the other necessary stats in terms of GPA and scores).[/quote]
