How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I would like to know how many eagle scouts are actually in FIRST robotics and how FIRST has helped them accomplish them to obtain the rank of eagle.

I am an Eagle Scout and I am a senior and also hold the equibalent rank of Eagle in Mexico so please tell your story

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

You will find that there are quite a few.

I actually wasn't a part of FRC until after earning my Eagle, but there is quite a bit of overlap in the goals and ideals of both programs and in the type of person it takes to be successful in them.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I'm an eagle scout :)

The leadership skills that I have gained from robotics definitely helped me with my Eagle Scout project. Also, my team helped me with my Eagle Scout Project :)

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Our team has 1 member who is in the process of finishing his eagle project, as well as 3 eagles that graduated last year, and about as many in years before that. In our town, robotics is kind of synonymous with FIRST, oddly enough. As it stands right now, we have 3 juniors, 4 sophomores, and about 5 freshman who are on the team and also Life rank, working on their Eagle, myself being one of the sophomores.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

1 here. One of the former students and current mentors on 330 is an Eagle as well.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am an Eagle Scout. Robotics mentors provided me and the other scouts we have on the team with letters of reccomendation. We had about four in the last two years and many more who have graduated. I think FIRST and Boy Scouts are reaching for the same goal, to improve our nation's future.
Go scouts and FIRST!

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I'd have at least attempted if I was eligible. I guess that's not saying much...

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am an Eagle Scout.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

1747 has at least 4.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I'm an Eagle - I can't say robotics helped me too much with it (I got my eagle early sophomore year) but Scouts was certainly an (almost) equal part of my life as robotics. Robotics only wins because I spent that much more time there.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

For one of our students, it wasn't FIRST specifically, but robotics in general. He organized and conducted several programming training sessions for Botball for the local middle school as his Eagle Scout Project last year.

I agree that there is major overlaps in both programs with regards to leadership and character.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am not an eagle scout yet but will be finshing soon.

First has helped me with things such as time and project mangament, leadership skills, communication and public speaking skills and like many things this is two fold I use the skills I devlope in my team and bring them back to my troop mainly the ideals of gracious professionalism both between menbers of the troop and between troops. Also First aid and CPR to keep the team safe. so as with anything Scouts helps me in first but also first helps my scouts

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

FIRST and Boy Scouts are deeply tired together for me. The older guys in my troop where involved in FIRST and got me interested and then to join when I got into high school. Then all of then got their Eagles and a couple years later I got mine on November 18th (I think) 2008

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am one of them :)

Eagle as of 10/26/2006 (Court of Honor date)

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am one, and at least one mentor is, also i think one student might also be, not sure though.

Side question, how many are in the Tribe of Mic-o-Say?
I am a Firebuilder in the tribe.

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.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

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.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

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.

Re: How many Eagle 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.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

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!

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I'm an Eagle Scout, but I became one long before I ever heard of FIRST (no team at my high school). I think both have much in common, particularly in the willingness to volunteer.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Team 2194 has at least four alumni who earned their Eagle Scout rank, and two current members who are working on it. Their Boy Scout training has served them all well.

I have also found that Boy Scout leaders also make very good FIRST mentors!

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

My brother is

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

We are a Venturing Crew, so I guess you could say we have 70 Scouts on our robotics team. We have two alumni who are Eagles (that I know of), one of whom also earned two Silver Palms, and one current Eagle. All of our Eagles went to Philmont, and one of them also attended Northern Tier and Seabase.

When I was a boy I was the curse of Scout units. My Cub Scout pack, two Boy Scout troops, and an Explorer Post all folded when I was a member. I'm Life for life. I suppose at 16 or so I got tired of destroying Scout units. :) I do have nine years as an Assistant Scoutmaster (for two troops that are both still in business) three as an Explorer Post advisor, and now one as a Venturing Crew Advisor. I hope by now that Baden-Powell and Green Bar Bill have forgiven me for my youth history.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Since I'm not a boy, I am not an eagle scout. But I am a Girl Scout and I am getting the equivalent now. I am going for my Gold Award, with a great deal of help from the skills I learned at robotics, as well as constant support from my team. Team Paragon also helped me maintian my Silver Award, so I give them quite a bit of credit for my success(:

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Nice! I think you certainly left your mark on scouting :) and I also bet that if you had better luck, that scouting spirit would have earned you eagle.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

There are at least two on my team going for Eagle Scout this year.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

What did everyone do for their Eagle Project?

For my eagle project, I went to a cemetery, cleaned all the veteran's graves, dug around each of them to remove the grass that had encroached on the tombstones, filled in the trenches I made with fresh, clean soil, and bought American flag holders with medallions that told the war the veteran fought in to place at each of their graves. Finally, on Veterans Day, I placed a flag in each of the 88 holders. The total cost for the project was $1000 give or take 5 bucks. NOTE TO ALL SCOUTS THAT NEED MONEY - GET A TABLE OR SOMETHING AT A POPULAR STORE ON BLACK FRIDAY AND ASK FOR $1-$5 DONATIONS. Lots of people pay for their black friday gifts in cash and have little scraps of money they are willing to spare for a good project. I got over $700 in a period of about 3 hours. :-)

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I, along with 2 other members of my team, am an eagle scout.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am a proud Eagle Scouts! I can say for sure since we have been a team we have had 4 and I helped get one of my Scout Masters who is also an Eagle Scout to be a mentor!!!:cool:

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I'm an Eagle scout. For my project, I poured a section of sidewalk through an area behind our school that was basically a high-traffic mud pit. The concrete was donated by Geiger Ready Mix, a concrete supplier in Lee's Summit, Missouri.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am also an Eagle Scout. I also earned my Eagle early in my junior year, a few months before I became significantly involved in FIRST. Hopefully we see many more new Eagles in FIRST robotics within the next few years
Go Troop 80!

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am an Eagle Scout, and another 1276 alumni also achieved the rank of Eagle.

It was pretty special, "my" Eagle Court of Honor was actually a joint one. There were 6 of us who made Eagle within a few months, so we had a joint Court of Honor. The State Senator who presented us with our flags and letters of congratulation from the State said that everyone he talked to said he must be mistaken, there was no way six kids from one troop could be receiving the rank at once. :eek:

For those Scouts who aren't 18 yet, the man I gave my mentor pin to said that the thing he regretted the most in his life was that he stopped his own trail to Eagle as a Life Scout. So finish those merit badges and get a start on your project!

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Cyber Blue has two currently on the team, and several alumni (see 1747 response...:) )

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I'm working on it... Honestly, I can say that although FIRST is helpful in some aspects, I find myself splitting my time between Boy Scouts and Robotics. It's a difficult choice, because FIRST isn't year round (well, not officially) whereas Boy Scouts is, so it subconsciously takes second priority.

However, now it's crunch time, because I'm 17, so it's moved up!

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Both of 306s drivers this year are Eagle, and there have been a few more in the past. I too am Life for life. My senior year i got more involved with the robot, and pushed my project aside. i'm sad i didn't get it but i don't regret anything i did. I am still really involved in scouting though, i am an assistant leader for my troop.I also have spent my last 4 summers Working at Custaloga Town Scout Reservation, helping other scouts achieve what i did not. The things i learned in scouting and FIRST definitely came together and helped me to where i am at today.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Earned my Eagle on March 31, 1999. First became exposed to FIRST, and a mentor for team 2177 in December 2006.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I earned my eagle February 2009

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Just last week i earned my Eagle. We also have a freshman who is a Life scout working on his Eagle and another freshmen who is Star.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Every year we will have several robotics team members who are also Eagle Scouts. We also have mentors who have been scout advisors and Dads. I think it says something about Boy Scouts and about FIRST that the goals are very similar.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Last year 3 of us made eagle, including myself. This year I'm the only one on the team but we do have a life who is almost eagle. But 3 is good for an FTC team of 7 kids. For me it was more transitional I did Boy Scouts then Robotics

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I earned the Eagle rank in 1984. Had FIRST existed then I'm sure I would have wanted to be involved, as I used to hang out after school in the computer lab (something new at the time - it had about a dozen Apple IIe's). I went on to study Microelectronic Engineering in college.

I wrote my Eagle report on my Commodore 64, and impressed the review board by programming the computer to print little eagle icons around the boarder of the pages (it was an interesting dot matrix printer that only had one pin and a saw tooth drum behind the paper - the timing of the drum spinning created the vertical dots - quite slow and very loud).

My project was managing the cleaning of a large inground pool at a church camp. We drained and scrubbed the pool, painted the bath house and ladders/divingboard structures, and cleaned up some new tent camping sites.

I am involved with my son's Troop, which is quite large - we are expecting about 10 Eagles this year, one of which is on our FRC team.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am an Eagle Scout. I would not have made it without the help and support of my team and I am forever grateful.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I became Eagle April 15th of this this year. Scouts and robotics is like a "chicken and the egg" scenario for me. Scouts drove me to be really organized and plan alot of events for robotics while robotics gave me a place to test out and apply in a "real world sense" what I learned from scouting. That then drove me to be SPL ... so yeh it goes back and forth. All eagle scouts, you should definitely ask your troop one meeting to allow your robotics team to present. I did that for my Troop roughly 2 weeks ago. http://www.team1672.com/nggallery/pa...-3/gallery-19/

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I'm an Eagle Scout as well--back in '89...seems a lifetime ago...but I guess that is for many of you!

Does anyone know of cub scout/boy scout FLL or Jr FLL teams?
 

Someone in NYC is potentially interested in starting a cub scouts/boy scouts FLL or Jr. FLL team. Does anyone out there have experience with this. Is there a boy scout merit badge for robotics or FIRST? Please private message me if you would be interested in speaking with the person who is thinking about it... thanks, mom1155

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

i am a star scout, i know its not eagle but thats soon to come!

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Our team has two eagles (one being myself ;]) and my younger brother is a life rank and is our driver this year. Because people found out I was a boy scout, I have been assigned every knot-tying job we have ever needed, so I am (was, I'm 18 now) the only person in our troop who remembered more than the square knot.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

i am an Eagle Scout as well. I found that FIRST and the Boy Scouts of America have a lot in common. From the responsibilities in leadership roles to helping each other for a greater purpose.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am an Eagle Scout and there are at least for others on team 868. Earning my Eagle actually helped me with my leadership role on the robotics team.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am a Life scout working on Eagle. Robotics and Boy Scouts both give me skills that help me with the other.
I also went to Philmont. I went this last summer. Any other Philmont survivors?

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I'm just glad they don't have the same eligibility requirements. :rolleyes:

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

There's really no Eagle Scouts in the county that I live in. I think that I might know of maybe two or three that moved from my county, otherwise there's no Eagle Scouts here.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Bacon is very proud to have 3 Eagle Scouts among our alumni and we have 3 more current students who will Eagle by next year.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I have my Eagle but I didn't join FIRST till after.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am a Mentor for FIRST Robotics Team 2073. I am an Eagle Scout!!!! :D

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am one. I don't know how much one helped with the other. They were both very seperate for me.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am an Eagle Scout and will always be an Eagle scout like all the others on here.

On the path to Eagle and with FIRST like others have mentioned that there is a bit of overlap. Sure scouts may be more focused with outdoor activities to teach life skills, but those life skills are used outside of those outdoors. FIRST strengthened some of the ability's and skills that I was taught in scouts. I definitely had a lot of leadership experience with FIRST and working as a team which is really important to have that experience and the ability to try something no matter how crazy it could be, if you have success you were successful, if you have failure you were still successful, just found out a way that doesn't work.

Being in college now I have come across many Eagles and many situations where things I have learned in scouts and in FIRST have come in very handy.

If your on your path toward Eagle, keep at it, I know you've heard that it is a great thing to have and that it helps you in life, but it Truly does and you see that more and more every day your an Eagle.

If you aren't in scouts don't let that discourage you, don't be afraid to find a troop near you even though you haven't been involved from the beginning. Also don't let this thread discourage you from doing great things as everyone has the ability to, especially with you being in FIRST you are already doing great things and learning so much that you don't even know it til you need to use it

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am an Eagle Scout as of 7/23/2007 which means that I wasn't in FIRST yet.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I recently earned the rank of Eagle Scout. For me, it wasn't just scouting that helped me in robotics, but also vice-versa. It was the leadership skills that I gained through the scouting program that I carried over when we started the FRC team #2614 four years ago. It was that summer that I did my Eagle Scout project, so I didn't have as much FIRST experience. But, I didn't obtain the Eagle rank until late summer 2010, at which time FIRST had consumed my life. We have actually developed partnerships with the scouting program through my involvement.

It truly is great to see two different programs that have the same mission come together. I had no clue there were so many BSA-FIRST kids (let alone Eagle Scouts!) out there. The two programs have essentially the same mission and the same standards for those involved. One will notice many similarities between the Boy Scout Law, Oath, and Slogan and FIRST's Gracious Professionalism. Also, look at BSA's Order of the Arrow (Scouting's National Honor Society). Its core is Cheerful Service to others. Isn't that what FIRST is about too?

Their missions are also the same in that they are growing today's youth into tomorrow's leaders. They are both fantastic programs to get involved in, and I consider myself extremely lucky to have both of them in my life.

I will always be an Eagle Scout and I will always be a FIRST kid as well.

Yours In Scouting,
Alex S.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Im an eagle scout as of 11/16/2010 ( board of review date)
We have 3 eagle scouts on ours and another one working on getting his project started.
Most of our team are boy scouts.:)

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I'm an Eagle Scout and we have another member on our team who is close to getting his too. Too bad I turned 18 before the robotics merit badge came out :(

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

We had a member that was planning be in the 1529 team, but dropped out due to his decision to become an Eagle Scout. We will probably see him next year, and quite happily too.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am proud to say that 2194 has had five Eagle Scouts, and the sixth has his Board of Review in the very near future. Also, at least one of our mentors is also an Eagle Scout, and several others are current Troop Leaders.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I too, am an Eagle Scout.

My local troop has thirteen :D off the top of my head. There is another troop in my area that also has some (# unknown to me).
There are also three other scouts on my team working towards their Eagle.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I'm in a group called Royal Rangers (very similar to Boy Scouts), and I have earned the equivalent to the Eagle Scout.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Just under eagle by september I hope to have it

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I got my eagle before joining FIRST.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am a Chief Scout ... Which is the same thing as an eagles scout but Canadian. In Canada you are suppose to get it before high school so FIRST didn't help alot. however i was still aprt of the team becaue of my two borther who were on the team. Also my one borther is a Queen Venture (Higest possible achievement in Canadian scouting) and was apart of FIRST when he achieved this award. :)

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I received my Eagle back in January and ironically started an FLL team as my project =) And we have 2 other Eagles on my team as of right now.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am bumping this thread back to life. How many Eagle Scouts do we have out there on FIRST teams? Back in 2007 I was a life scout when build season started, I had the project and a couple badges to go. I ended up spending my time building the robot and didn't focus on my project. I didn't get Eagle but I don't regret it, I have learned so much from both programs, and am currently planning on working as the science and technology director at a local boy scout camp. Both programs mesh together nicely. Member of CRT 306, BSA troop 79, and 85 French Creek Council.
How many Boy scouts/ Eagle Scouts do we have in FIRST?

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

We have at least 6 currently on our team, and a few more working on it, and several graduates, myself included. A few Girl Scout Silver Awards too.

Mine was pre-my being involved with FRC; my project was building computers for a non-profit tutoring center, but it would have been amazing to do something FIRST/Robotics related.

There does seem to be a higher % of Eagle scouts on our team than in the general population. I think that says something about people in FIRST.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I'll just come in here to say I made it by the skin of my teeth. I was supposed to get it before I entered high school, with only 4 merit badges and the project left but I entered high school, joined a FIRST team, had to deal with years of family illness, and left 2 merit badges and the project untouched until after the 2012 regular season was over.

Even though I went on fewer camping trips and didn't make as many scout meetings in favor of tending to family and building robots, I developed a good rapport with my leaders that watched me use the skills I learned as a pre-teen in scouts and the desire to serve others applied other places, they were happy to help me achieve the rank.

I thank BSA Troop 2877, FRC Team 422, friends, and my family for giving me such warm environments to thrive in, even in rough patches of life.

I was recognized by our county board along with a fellow 422 member (but different troop) who is currently a sophomore programmer and a really nice guy. On 2614 I have had the pleasure of running into quite a few Eagle Scouts who are both students and mentors.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am an Eagle Scout from Troop 288.
I think that all of the people from my Team who are Boy Scouts (Four of us) are all Eagles from different Troops.

It goes to show how so many different people can come together in both organizations and change their lives forever.

Side question, how do/did you guys keep up with Build Season and Boy Scouts? I have found my self recently not going to Boy Scouts for the sake of building robots.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I had "Eagled out" before I became involved with FRC - but two of my friends who got Eagle as Seniors had a really tough time juggling it all.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I also Eagled out before my first build season.

Felt revealed, especially when I saw the other two also juggle both around during the season.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Even as Co-C.E.O. of my team I was able to progress through scouting during all four years of high school (I am now a senior), and achieved my rank of Eagle Scout last month. I am a proud Eagle of Troop 349.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Yesterday, I attended a ceremony for one of our MOE alumni, Jeremy Gross, who earned his Eagle Scout last year.

I am in awe of what it takes to reach and attain Eagle Scout status. For all of you FIRST Eagle Scouts out there, congratulations on all your hard work! You make us proud.

John

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I've been a Boy Scout for about 6 years, roboticist for 3, and Eagle Scout for several months. I'd say my training as a Boy Scout actually helped me more in FRC than in the other way around, simply because of the experience managing medium to large groups of people.

That being said, there are a lot of parallels between building a robot and working a construction-based Eagle project (you just can't improvise on the latter). Shoutouts go to Team 2134, Troop 379, and the Walpi-Kiva Chapter of the Order of the Arrow for helping me get to where I am today, that is, still building robots :-)

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I've found both to be very true.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

A lot of people saw this picture. Suffices to say, I am an Eagle Scout, and FIRST helped me through the process, but more so Boy Scouts helped me throughout FIRST. Strange huh? Boy Scouts, through emailing various adult leaders, helped me learn the formal jargon necessary for addressing such figures, and then it translated over to me explaining both the program and writing letters to other people for our team and I can eloquently speak to various people about the program and what it's taught me. (Thank you Boards of Review for helping me explain what (insert program) means to me.)

On a side note, this thread is the first time I've actually heard of OA chapters elsewhere. It's a national honor society, but I've never actually heard of other chapters. Brotherhood in the Tamegonit Lodge.
Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Curious as to how many others recognize that achievement.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Never did OA...never saw the point. In fact some aspects of the organization seem downright politically incorrect to an outsider. But a good friend of mine was a Lodge Chief or something.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

As a Canadian I'm curious, are any of you Eagle scout FIRSTers among the Eagles who sent their badges back to BSA in protest last year?

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

Nope...and I don't know any who did. As usual, the media generally tries to make more of a story out of a given situation then there really is.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am an Eagle Scout of Troop 9, Aloha Council, Kamehameha District. I earned it in June of 2011, and I bet I have the longest time to complete an Eagle Scout Project. Can anyone beat 1 whole year? :D

My dad got to life, my uncle to star, and I have one life and one eagle as cousins. My eagle cousin actually was my driving force to complete my climb. And, he was my workout partner for Personal Fitness. 3 months didn't last as long with him.

Glad to reply!

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am sad to say that I have not earned my Eagle yet. I have a couple merit badges to finish as well as my project. I've started my project, but have yet to do the bulk of it. Tonight is my last night as Senior Patrol Leader of my troop, hopefully I will be able to spend more time on my Eagle now that my SPL term is done. (Although I bet it'll be more robots than Eagle work :o ) I must say, it been... well, intiresting, to say the least juggling SPL and Fabrication Leader for my troop and team.

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I'm a life scout and hope to have my Eagle by July 1st!

Just wondering, did any of you integrate robotics with your Eagle project?

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I used our shop and CADding. (Pro Tip - Roundtable LOVED that I could provide a 3d image of my proposal as well as the full .idws for my project. All conceptualized and created by yours truly.)

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I am an Eagle Scout, from troop 154 in Glendale, CA. I earned mine on December 16th 2010, the last time I could have gotten it in the BSA's centennial year. Also for all those who do not know how to balance robotics, school and scouting, it is possible because last year I was on my council's executive board, via OA Lodge Chief. Also I maintained a 3.7 GPA, so it is possible, although it may not seems like it. You would need to great on time management and must not know the definition of the word SLEEP

Re: How many Eagle Scouts :)
 

I did--my Eagle project was to lead scoring and find refs for the SCRRF Fall Classic in 2006.
