[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS would love to become one. How challenging is that? I just take a quick look at the requirement. For example, he probably can't earn the cycling badge because he can't even bike at age 11. Swimming is just okay, only can swim pool, but not to the point to save anyone or in ocean. Do scouts have to take lessons to learn swimming and cycling lessons on their own or den leader could teach them? He also has asd & adhd, do anyone know kids with diagnosis become eagle scout? The empathy part and volunteering part might be challenging for him to understand and executive to help others. [/quote]

Less than 1% of boys who start Boy Scouts become an Eagle Scout.

In the history of scouting, there have been about 2.7 million Eagle Scouts, and almost 1 million of those in just the last two decades, which shows how much easier they made it to get now, becoming more worthless as a result.

Being an Eagle Scout 40 years ago was the same as having a PhD in many ways, as far as rarity and looking good on resumes. Now it's more like an online B.S. degree. [/quote]
