[quote=Anonymous]I think it is a net positive but isn't going to have a huge impact. There is minimal Venn diagram intersection between Eagle Scouts and athletes, and I don't think it is any better than being a dedicated athlete (even a non-recruited one). Eagle Scouts tend to be kind of nerdy and lacking in charisma (again, "tend to be," not all, so don't be defensive). It would be most valuable if combined with something that showed personality and real leadership (not the Eagle Scout type, but really motivating people). Even being a camp counselor would be a good supplement as it requires working with little kids. An Eagle Scout who played a team sport would also be good, even if they don't play at a very advanced level.[/quote]
