[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents are doing this for all kinds of stuff, not just scouts. Being an eagle Scout isn't that big a boost though, better to be a recruited athlete. This “Ivy or bust” culture is incredibly sad. Sets kids up for “failure”even when I they do everything right. [/quote] I have an Eagle Scout currently in college. Only the admissions officers know whether or not it made a difference in his application. I think Boy Scouts was absolutely a positive and invaluable experience in his adolescent life. It helped him in areas beyond college admissions because it gave him positive male role models who helped him with communication and self confidence. The Boy Scout experience varies by troop. That being said, for college admissions purposes recruited athlete is the way to go. [/quote]
