Why become an Eagle Scout?

Answer 1

There are many advantages to earning the Eagle Scout rank including the skills learned, the leadership learned, and the general demonstration to yourself and everyrone else that you can commit to a long term extraordinarily difficult task and get it done

The main advantage to being an Eagle Scout, other than that you possess all of the above, is that people generally understand that it is a great achievement accomplished by very few. I can think of nothing esle that can be accomplished before the age of 18 that will still be listed and discussed into adulthood. You will never see "captain of the HS football team" on the resume of a 50 year old man applying to be CEO of a large corporation but if he is an Eagle Scout it will be there, it will be noted, and it will often be the difference between that guy and all the others with similar education and experience.

Answer 2

There is a much higher chance of getting hired at a job, andthat's very helpful, and you would probably be paid more. Once you are an eagle scout, you never lose that status, nor would you ever regret it. you also get a letter signed by the president of the united states congratulating you on becoming an eagle scout. it's just such an honor to become an eagle scout, and you will always be remembered for it.

Every astronaut in the Apollo space program had been an Eagle Scout.
