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 :-)
