Is it true that if you are an Eagle Scout and you join the Army you will automatically advance 2 ranks?

No. Current regulations only allow advancement of one rank to PV2.
A Scouting background does help in that you will be familiar with many of the things they will teach in basic training (Scouting was invented partly to help boys learn the skills needed to be military scouts). Also, many of the military leaders would look at being an Eagle Scout as speaking highly of you as a person.
Being an Eagle Scout probably does offer advantages in your military career but it does not confer any official automatic reward.

How long does an eagle scout application usually take?
There is not a set "length" of time for earning the Eagle Scout Rank. The Eagle Trail, as it is often referred to, begins with joining scouts. The first three ranks earned are Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class. Scouting encourages Scout units to provide a program that allows Scouts to earn these ranks in their first year of Scouting. Keep in mind that the Scout must do the work and become proficient in the required skills. It is doable in a year but may take longer. In order to continue to advance in rank, a Scout must then start to earn Merit Badges, provide Community Service, Leadership within his Troop, and continue to demonstrate conduct consistent with the Scout Oath and Law. The next ranks do require a minimum time in rank to advance. Star Scout - 4 months, Life Scout - 6 months, and Eagle - 6 months. I will post the Scouting.org official advancement requirements below this answer. Good luck to all of those on the Eagle Trail! ThirftyScout@gmail.com www.thriftyscout.blogspot.com
