What does your Eagle Scout award mean to you?

“Accomplishment and perseverance”

Has your Scouting experience or Eagle Scout award helped you in life? Describe how:

“Yes, it has helped me secure employment, given me responsibilities.  Being an Eagle Scout has saved my life in more ways than one”

“Scouting still means very much to me.  I stayed in scouting to repay a debt that I will never be able to pay back.  Along the way I have had a lot of fun, met a lot of great people and had opportunities come before me that I would not have had if it were not for scouting.  The Boy Scouts saved my life.  I can honestly say that I have no idea where I would be if it were not for Boy Scouts.  I can tell you that I would probably not be as productive a person as I am today if it would not have been for the Boy Scouts”
