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.

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.

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

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!

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

I am an Eagle Scout.

1747 has at least 4.

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.
