Hi, I'm rather nervous right now because I am about to go to a review where i basically find out if i will be a Eagle scout or not. Thinking about this made me wonder, how many others here are Eagle Scouts, or even Scouts. Just let me know, or whatever

Do you think the Eagle Scout rank is a big deal or just another easy thing to achieve?

i was in boy scouts for about a year.. i didn't even make tenderfoot.. it was so not interesting.. the only thing keeping me alive was being able to burn stuff and get away with it. i had a kid that was a jerk that i almost beat up.. and one of the guys who was up there in the troop was snobby.. like 'back in my day we did everything' blah blah blah.. it sucked.. i was in 1121 milville good luck dicey. :)

ok, A boy scout is a group of young men that get together to learn life skills. Throught this whole process you earn merit badges and rank advancement. You start out as a "scout" then "tenderfoot" "second class" "first class" "star" "life" "eagle" and each one you have to be for like 6 months before you can advance to the next.
Eagle scout is the highest and hardest to recieve...most boys don't make it past First class. Eagle is also one of the highest honors you can recieve as a teenager. It looks great on job apps...and all that and is a lot of long hard work to achive, hope this helps

what's an eagle scout? It reminds me of arrested thieves who've bettered their lives by guarding trainstations in Amsterdam but I guess you're not having an interview to become that.

Hey Dice, good luck to ya!

I wanted to be a scout when I was a kid, but my 'rents didn't let me, I still don't know exactly why. I gotta ask them sometime...
