What Are Some Benefits of Being an Eagle Scout?

Scouting helped me advance my education, which is really critical without this foundation in this foundation. I don't think there would have ever been a desire to continue in the pursuit of education. One of the things that immediately made a difference in my life was that I became an Eagle Scout just three months before I graduated high school and it was right after that period when I was accepted into college and when I went to college, a small college in southern Indiana, and I sat down with the director of admissions, I really said why. You selected me and said John?

You are an Eagle Scout. I know you will graduate when I went to college. I applied for a talent scholarship. Having obtained my Eagle. having worked on the camp staff. having worked with the order of the arrow I obtained. a full-tuition scholarship to the university I was going to going to school, you know, scholarship applications and all that, and when they look at you and say your Eagle Scouts, that puts you in a different pile of applicants and they look at you like different, so it's really good, really a very positive thing and I attended several training conferences at the film training center in Cimarron and one of the courses they had was using the Scout Law and the oath in your daily life and the instructors were instructors. from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs and one had very close relationships with the admissions officers and said you know if two applicants show up and are equal in every way and one is an Eagle Scout and the other is not We'll choose the Eagle Scout for admission to the Academy every time.

Well, I got it a few weeks before my 18th birthday, so it's really special. “I mean, it's still my proudest achievement and it's at the top of my resume,” my friend told me. when we were in high school, he said, hey, if you get your Eagle Scout, you can get any job you want and I said, hey, that sounds pretty good, even though we weren't really thinking about careers and stuff at that point I joined The marine. and as an Eagle Scout I was promoted to a higher rank from the beginning, that has been an advantage for me when I went to interview for my job, they asked me about my ego,

prodigy I did and

what

my ego represents. and everything, so big, was an important role in my interview.

I graduated, got my high school, got a college degree and went on to graduate school and eventually became president and CEO of 80 West, which is AT&T's operations in California, Nevada. and I would say that the exploration has been very useful to me
