[quote=Anonymous]I don't think anyone can tell you how much affect it had on college applications. I have 2 Eagle Scouts and I think it's helped both of them to be more well-rounded, confident people. They were both very into their sport and scouts was their main other activity. It's really hard to balance a time-intensive sport and make Eagle Scout so I think it taught them time management. My kids are also fairly shy and it helped them become more comfortable speaking to others. Each board of review is like a job interview. Becoming an Eagle Scout also requires them to take on leadership positions. I know this is something my kids wouldn't normally do so it pushed them out of their comfort zone. They also go through leadership training, which was helpful. Both my kids got into good colleges, but who knows if Eagle Scout moved the needle. They definitely benefited from their scouting experience though.[/quote]
