Eagle scouts can be anything they want to be or can have any talent they want. -- There are a lot of former scouts who are singers, but doesn't look like Eagle Scouts. The links have lists of famous scouts who became singers.

Approximately 4% of American men are Eagle Scouts. The overall percentage of the entire American public that are Eagle Scouts would be much lower, considering not all Americans are male and not all American males have been in the Boy Scouts of America.
Less than 1/10th of 1%
The BSA states " Not every boy who joins a Boy Scout troop earns the Eagle Scout rank; only about 5 percent of all Boy Scouts do so. " In 2010 there were 898,186 Boy Scouts and 56,176 Eagle Scout awards presented, thus it would appear to be 6.2%. But male Venturers who earned First Class in a troop can continue to work towards Eagle Scout while in a crew. There were a total of 238,846 Venturers, but we don't know how many were eligible, but the percentage goes down. As of 2008 (the last year I have totals), there had been 83,486,083 Scouts since 1911 and 1,880,905 Scouts had earned Eagle Scout, making it 2.2% for the total.
