Re: Boy Scouting and FIRST
1) I think there were 2 last year, including one eagle scout.
2) Not really, but probably because we are a relatively small team and everyone has to work hard.
3)It can if they are good leaders, but not everyone can be a good leader. Too many leaders and you might as well have none. Outside of leadership, scouting can help develop diverse interests allowing for experience in many fields, but not necessarily improving the potential for "great" contributions. those come from experience in a particular field and can come from anywhere.
Some differences are that FIRST doesn't emphasize reverence, at all.
Also, FIRST hold the world championship annually. the world jamboree occurs only ~once every 4 years.
however, both attempt to inspire and provide experience to people in middle/high school. Also, both have programs aimed towards elementary school aged children.
