Re: Boy Scouting and FIRST

My team has at least 4 Eagle scouts on it (myself included). And at least 5 more scouts.

The programs teach different things, and help contribute to a well rounded individual. Boy Scouts teaches youth to be responsible and a good leader. FIRST teaches teamwork, and the value of individual innovation.

I think that the Boy Scouts on the team work better as leaders and organizers of the group. They seem to be more reliable than other members and are very committed.


My assessment may be a little skewed because I am an Eagle Scout and one of the captains of the team.
