<p>Do it! For personal satisfaction if nothing else. Even if it doesn’t seem to mean that much right now.</p>
<p>It will be something you carry with you for life because it is so well respected - kind of like someone whom went to the Olympic trials-- they always have bragging rights to be of that caliber. </p>
<p>I have a friend whose H is Eagle scout- all resumes that have Eagle scout/Gold Award float to the top of the pile. Another 55+ yr old man wistfully told me he is so bummed he didn’t complete it. That’s 35 years later! did it define him that he didn’t finish, maybe…</p>
<p>Parent of Eagle scout. Challenging process-- reach out to all supportive adults to help. Let them now-- where you need badges & enlist their help asap to monitor you. You can start your project w/out finishing your badges- so figure a good project & good time in your busy schedule & submit. My S’s was sent back for modifications at least 3xs :(</p>
<p>Although to your point, I do not believe everyone needs to reach Eagle - the scouting expereinces you have had, you will always treasure, but now since you are so close-- focus & get it done. It will help with the college apps too.</p>
