How many Eagle Scouts :)

[DarkFlame145]

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

Team 980 has had at least two Eagle scouts in it's history. Both were exceptional team captains and were fine representatives of FIRST to the community.

Ben Van Selous and I, both mentors of 125, are proud to be eagle scouts. Unfortunately we don't have any students on the team who are eagles. I'm not sure if there is a large Boy Scout contingency in the Boston area; I certainly haven't seen any evidence in my 4 years here. Admittedly though, I haven't been looking.

Team 701 had three graduate last year (all came back to mentor), one on our current team, and two more working on their eagle.

I'm a cub scout leader and try to involve the team with a few scout activities each year. In fact, our robotics team is hosting the cub scout pinewood derby this weekend. Should be fun. Scouting ideals (both girls and boys) and FIRST ideals go hand in hand.

I became an Eagle Scount long before FIRST but the reason I'm so passionate about mentoring in FIRST is because of those who mentored me in scouting. I always had the desire to give back and still do after 14 years.

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

I am the other Eagle Scout Eric speaks of. Actually, we have one more Eagle that was a student on 330, and still helps out. (Sam)

For me (and others), robotics contributed most to my people/leadership skills which in turn helped me with the service project.

Congrats to the other Eagle Scouts out there. The combination of FIRST Robotics and obtaining the rank of Eagle is an accomplishment that speaks a lot about your character and qualifications. (HR departments will appreciate it on your resume, too.)

[I LOVE ROBOTS!]

off the top of my head there are at least 5 eagles currently on my team with multiple people close and a few more graduated

[I LOVE ROBOTS!]

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 achieved Eagle Scout while a student in FIRST and I still am mentoring. One of bacon's robots was actually at my eagle court of honor and we recruited several boys from my troop who are now active members of the team!

I'm an Eagle Scout, but I became one long before I ever heard of FIRST (no team at my high school). I think both have much in common, particularly in the willingness to volunteer.

[Mark Holschuh]

Team 2194 has at least four alumni who earned their Eagle Scout rank, and two current members who are working on it. Their Boy Scout training has served them all well.

I have also found that Boy Scout leaders also make very good FIRST mentors!

There are at least two on my team going for Eagle Scout this year.

Someone in NYC is potentially interested in starting a cub scouts/boy scouts FLL or Jr. FLL team. Does anyone out there have experience with this. Is there a boy scout merit badge for robotics or FIRST? Please private message me if you would be interested in speaking with the person who is thinking about it... thanks, mom1155

Code Orange, Team 3476, has 2 mentors that are Eagle Scouts: Andrew Hedge and Gary Hedge.

Gary Hedge will be on staff at the 2013 Boy Scout Jamboree in West Virginia this year then drive on Thurs night to IRI.
