How many Eagle Scouts :)

[kulisb]

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.

I am an Eagle Scout. I have found that the teamwork and dedication to my FRC team has helped me along the Eagle Trail.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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

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

[MBunzel]

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

[Kyoshirin]

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.

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.

[Nickle]

I am a Life scout working on Eagle. Robotics and Boy Scouts both give me skills that help me with the other.

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

I also went to Philmont. I went this last summer. Any other Philmont survivors?
