[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been a thing for a very long time. I think most kids drop out and [b]I don’t think it gave any of the Eagle Scout kids I knew a big boost.[/b] [/quote] +1 My DS had a close friend who was an Eagle Scout and so he knew a few others by association. They all got into the schools you would think they would get into based on their courses/grades-- and didn't get into the more competitive ones. Being an Eagle Scout didn't get a single one of them into UVA, WM or VT, though I know most applied to all or 2/3 of those. I think someone should do the Eagle Scout work because they want to do it and/or they value the skills they are specifically learning through it-- not because they think it's going to reap future rewards in college or jobs--that seems like a route to disappointment.
