Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Team 980 has had at least two Eagle scouts in it's history. Both were exceptional team captains and were fine representatives of FIRST to the community.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Ben Van Selous and I, both mentors of 125, are proud to be eagle scouts. Unfortunately we don't have any students on the team who are eagles. I'm not sure if there is a large Boy Scout contingency in the Boston area; I certainly haven't seen any evidence in my 4 years here. Admittedly though, I haven't been looking.

Team 701 had three graduate last year (all came back to mentor), one on our current team, and two more working on their eagle.

I'm a cub scout leader and try to involve the team with a few scout activities each year. In fact, our robotics team is hosting the cub scout pinewood derby this weekend. Should be fun. Scouting ideals (both girls and boys) and FIRST ideals go hand in hand.

I became an Eagle Scount long before FIRST but the reason I'm so passionate about mentoring in FIRST is because of those who mentored me in scouting. I always had the desire to give back and still do after 14 years.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I'm also an Eagle Scout :-)

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

In our history we have graduated at least 9 or 10 eagle scouts, that I know of (and that's only as far back as 06). There are definitely more from our earlier years.

We are very proud of our students and alumni for this as our team has very close ties to Boy Scouts.

I too am an Eagle scout. Like Ed, FIRST wasn't around when I got mine. I achieved this in 1974.
My Eagle medal still hangs proudly in my home office.m

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am the other Eagle Scout Eric speaks of. Actually, we have one more Eagle that was a student on 330, and still helps out. (Sam)

For me (and others), robotics contributed most to my people/leadership skills which in turn helped me with the service project.

Congrats to the other Eagle Scouts out there. The combination of FIRST Robotics and obtaining the rank of Eagle is an accomplishment that speaks a lot about your character and qualifications. (HR departments will appreciate it on your resume, too.)

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

team 1922 has two. i'm one of them. i don't think i have let scouts and robotics affect each other directly but i'm sure they have.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am an Eagle Scout, but I was before I joined FIRST. Skills from scouts have definitely helped in FIRST though.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am an Eagle Scout as well. Got mine in 2003. Team 78 has at least 2 other mentors who are Eagles, and we also have a mentor who is a scout leader.

I am an Eagle Scout. I have found that the teamwork and dedication to my FRC team has helped me along the Eagle Trail.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

off the top of my head there are at least 5 eagles currently on my team with multiple people close and a few more graduated

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

i know there are a lot of scouts in First not only because of my team, but also the people who pointed out my philmont belt and said they had one just like it

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I achieved Eagle Scout while a student in FIRST and I still am mentoring. One of bacon's robots was actually at my eagle court of honor and we recruited several boys from my troop who are now active members of the team!
