Made Life Scout, did not get my Eagle Scout though

Applying to College
1

<p>I reached the Life Scout rank in Boy Scouts, but then I moved to a new area and did not want to re-join Boy Scouts. I felt I was too busy with other things.</p>

<p>Anyway, I also held the Senior Patrol Leader position (highest leadership position for scouts) twice while in scouts.</p>

<p>Should I put that I was Life rank and SPL twice on my application?</p>

<p>I'm worried that if I say I made Life Scout, they will ask why I didn't get Eagle. I'm worried that putting Life Scout it will basically be saying "I was never determined enough to get Eagle".</p>

<p>Still, I've had a lot of experiences and leadership experience in Scouts even without Eagle. Would it help or hurt to say I am a Life scout and two time SPL?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I don’t think that it will hurt your application to mention is and it does show leadership. I doubt that they will hold it against you that you didn’t get your Eagle.</p>

<p>Thanks, I read somewhere that it will hurt me. If it helps, I want to go to UVA</p>
