[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I follow a former college admissions counselor on Instagram and he just today gave his out of ten rankings for different activities- none scored a ten, but Eagle Scout was one of the few 9s he gave. [/quote]

Can you share where to see this?[/quote]

I follow so many of these accounts- sorry, I can’t find it or I’d link it. But Eagle Scout is super hard, shows years of dedication and work. I would agree that it’s gotta be a boost![/quote]

Its not that impressive. The projects I've seen have been things like, build a bench or put shelving into a storage shed. A lot of scouting hours and badges can be faked. [/quote]

It’s not just the project.  It’s 21 badges, each of which has 10 requirements often with multiple subparts.  Plus rank advancement requirements that are really tough to meet for each rank (at least five ranks).  It is so so much.  Not sure my son will finish and he’s about 90% done after 5 years. [/quote]
