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.
It’s an extraordinary accomplishment for a high schooler and the lessons learned in honesty, hard work, ability to plan and execute stay with them for life. That’s why and Eagle Scout is always an Eagle Scout. And Eagle Scouts do pay it back by becoming troop leaders, as my DH did, volunteering and doing h scout-related charity work

When you get to college you can always add to what you are and what you love to do. No different than a high schooler who played varsity tennis in high school and continues to play on a club team in college and beyond.
I will also add: if you college kid is looking for a freshman year roommate, a fellow Eagle Scout is a great choice!

Don't abandon the affiliation entirely. Our national law firm essentially will hire any Eagle Scout who has a good law school record. The practice has served us well in the past and will be even more effective when we start to see the female Eagles coming through. People who were that persevering in high school are even more so with a law degree.

Is it just scouting that must be abandonned when you go to college or do you feel that way about other activities too?
