mdutch 10 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 As I just mentioned in another thread, I am going to be heading off to college soon. So, I will not be writing/reading here much anymore. For those of you who don't know, I just spent the past week doing 3 merit badges (who said you can't wait until the last minute), and my Eagle SM Conference. I will be scheduling my BOR for either Thanksgiving break or Christmas Break. At the SM conference I was asked one interesting question that I didn't have a very good answer to. "Why do you want to become an Eagle Scout if you can't put it on your college applications?" Anyways, thanks to all of you for the support that I have gotten from reading here plus this has been a great excuse to do something when I should have (but didn't want to) worked on merit badges. Anyway, best of luck to everybody out here. YiS, Eric Link to post Share on other sites

mtm25653 10 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Intereseting question - my oldest waited to do his project till January of senior year after all his applications were in, because "I don't want to get my Eagle just so it will look good on my college applications."

jambo 10 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 We need Eagle Scout caliber men like you. After college, I suggest you go into proffesional Scouting. We need young blood, with futurestic ideas, imagination, to run the Nationl HQ's. Boy Scouts of America, should not be a business organization, but to be an organization to benefit our boys. Thanks for being a Scout, ...jambo Link to post Share on other sites
kb6jra 10 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Good luck, have fun and stay focused on your studies. Your education is the springboard by which the rest of your life will take off. Oh, and although a bit premature, congratulations on completing the requirements for Eagle. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunny2862 11 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 If you are interested don't forget to look to see if there is an Alpha Phi Omega chapter at the school you are going to. Look it up. Link to post Share on other sites

Gonzo1 10 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Congratulations and best wishes. One answer might be: Because it's about life, not college applications. Please consider a Venturing Crew in college. BTW, which college and what major? Gonzo1 Link to post Share on other sites
