Any other Eagle Scouts on here?

I know this is an international forum, and i'm not sure how worldwide Boy Scouts is, but I just passed my Eagle scout board of review yesterday and I'm curious if any of you guys are Eagle scouts also!

My hockey camps took over Boy Scouts time when I turned 16, otherwise I likely would have made Eagle Scout.

 

Random Stuff happens and when I know how to deal with it, people ask where I learned this and that, and I tell them I was in the Boy Scouts. They look at me like "I dont believe you". Every time.

Almost this exact thing was said to me last night at my board of review. Very interesting how things work out like that! :thumbup:

I believe I made it to Star and AO Ordeal membership levels. Lost interest in in high school when football took priority. 20 years later I'm in the Civil Air Patrol now as a senior member. As an adult, CAP appeals to some of the same interests I had in Boy Scouts. Lots of skill overlap between Boy Scouts and CAP Ground Team and Urban Direction Finding specialties.

I made it to Life. I joined Boy Scouts too late to have enough time to make Eagle.

Never got further than Cub Scout as there wasn't a local Scout group to progress to.

 

Shame really, as looking back the practical skills I learnt as a Cub have been valuable, namely map reading, and it would have been nice to take them further. Wish I could remember all the knots though, the only one I can do without thinking is a square/reef, although I roughly remember how to do a slip and a clove hitch.

I am a Star scout. High school became more important than Boy Scouts, but I still regularly attend meetings at one of our local venture crews.

 

and yes, I too have gotten that same response when I tell people that I learned something from Boy Scouts.

was in the Cubs and the Scouts until I was about 14 when I left and joined the Air Training Corps as I wanted to be a pilot in the RAF.

 

My mother was also in the Scouts, when she retired from them she was County Commissioner for Caithness, that was in the mid 70s, she had been in the Scouts from before WW2

In this country, you're one, boys and girls, starting 4th grade whether you want to be one or not.
