It may be considered equal within thescouting community. But most scouts
have never heard of the quartermaster award, much less the public. If the
Sea Scouts (wish there had been a ship back in my home council) wanted to
keep the quartermaster award that's fine with me. But I don't feel that
calling it the quartermaster award will give the scout the same amount of
recognition as calling it an Eagle Scout Award. When you put Eagle Scout
on your resume it draws attention and immediate recognition from your
hopeful employer.
