My Eagle Scout is off to college in the fall. His school has a Venture crew. Will he join? I don't know. Will he want to go on hunts or backpacking trips? Absolutely!

What is wrong with you? Becoming an Eagle Scout or Gold Award recipient is a lifetime achievement. You are always an Eagle Scout, just like you are always a Marine. Every year the Dean of Harvard Law School sends me and all other graduates a list of the accomplishments of the incoming law class and the number of Eagle Scouts is always listed.
It is an accomplishment for a high schooler. Once you are in college, there is a whole lot more to learn and try.

Because no one would have an opportunity to learn, explore, enjoy, or excel by being a scout leader...thanks for letting us know (that you do not know anything about scouting)
Limited learning and growth. You'll be better off getting out of that bubble you've been since you were a Cub Scout.

That wasn't implied. By 18 there are ways to do all these things that aren't stunted.

I imagine a scout could work at any one of the many scout camps across the country. My neighbor's son took a gap year after HS and worked at Philmont - both during the summer and in the off season. Life changing experience.

Volunteering in youth activities as an adult is weird? So many of them rely on volunteers...

Not a good use of your time unless you cant find paid internships, academic research
Its a great use of your time! Lots of valuable skills.Got the rest of your life for an office.
Yes but if they've been doing it in school for over a decade, they need to try new things.
For years, they have been the scout. As they’ve progressed in scouting they’ve been given more responsibility. Now as a young adult, they can continue in scouting as a leader or a volunteer at the council level. I don’t know why anyone would need to give it up to try new things. Volunteering takes a few hours most weeks, sometimes more if there is an event or overnight occurring. Not sure why you could do both a paid internship or academic research AND volunteer. Isn’t that what most adults do when they want to volunteer—they go to work and volunteer in their free time.
