Lordjake Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Why get Life rank if you don't plan on getting Eagle? Eagle Scout does look great on college resumes and job applications; I'm sure it helped out on my app's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakeitormakeit Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Why get a black belt if your almost there? Because its the cherry on top of the sundae! Plus eagle goes on applications and such. Another thing is you don't have to stop after eagle. Sure you might have hit the top but you can still help others accomplish the same achievement you have done. The things you learn along the way can come in handy and even if you don't use them one day then at least you learned that one more thing in life.

Peter Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Do you want to look back at your life and only be able to count on one hand what you've accomplished? I'm pretty sure I got my current job because I am an Eagle Scout, if that helps your decision any. Plus, you're at Life... There's no reason to quit now.

dark_ice Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I just got Eagle last summer. I was in scouts probably 6 years before I got life. I was in it 7 when I got Eagle but I could have completed it a lot sooner. Why spend all that time getting Life just to skip out and not get Eagle. The only hard thing is getting the project done and that still isn't too bad. The great thing about Eagle is that people actually recognize it. If someone sees that on a resume or application that automatically tells them that you have a good set of values and morals, just from what scouting teaches. Its worth it in lots of ways so go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assassin_696 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I don't know exactly how the American system works but if it's similar to the British system then it's a brilliant thing to do. It teaches you so many essential life skills and really broadens your mind. I only left my scout group because I didn't get on at all with the leader.

foolgool Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Becoming an Eagle Scout is a huge honor, and, as everyone else has said, looks really good on resumes. The code in my sig should say 1032 not 0132. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
