Most college applications ask for things such as awards you have received and community service/volunteer work you have been involved in. Both of those things can be gained through Girl Scouts. Having been in Girl Scouts and earning the Gold Award can also make the difference when a college has several applicants to choose from. Girl Scouts really help when applying for scholarships, especially if you complete the Girl Scout Gold Award and if you do a lot of community service through Girl Scouts. There are many scholarships which are awarded based on community service. Also, there are scholarships based on having earned the Girl Scout Gold Award.

The Arrow Of Light is the only Cub Scout award that can be worn on the Boy Scout uniform. Religious knots that are earned as Cub Scouts can also be worn on the Boy Scout uniform but they are actually awarded through the churches in cooperation with the scouts and so not really official scout badges.
The highest earned Chief Scout's Award is worn on the right front of the shirt, level with the pocket button on the left side. See "Position of badges on uniform (Explorer Scouts)"[linked].

That will depend a lot on what you consider a badge. There are 6 rank badges - Bobcat, Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear, Webelos and Arrow of Light. In the Wolf and Bear years arrow points can be earned for doing electives. Any number can be earned but earning more than 7 or 8 is not common. There are 53 belt loops and 53 corresponding pins. In the Webelos years there are 20 activity badges and the compass points emblem and 3 pins. There are also numerous other awards such as the Summertime Activity Award, the Outdoor Activity Award, the Cub Scout World Conservation Award, the Leave No Trace award and religious emblems. There are also other special patches and badges that can be earned through different programs and activities.
The "Super Achiever" or "Heavy Shoulder Award" is an informal distinction bestowed by the Pack on WEBELOS scouts that earn all 20 activity pins. Since it is not an actual BSA badge or award I doubt there are any statistics available. My personal experience is that it is about 5-10% of bridging WEBELOS (finishing Cub Scouts and moving to Boy Scouts) with about half or less of all Cub Scouts bridging.
