Or she only wants to answer what is essentially the same question (is NSCS a scam?) once. No reason why copy and pasting the same answer shouldn't suffice.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "super lame club." If you feel that community service is super-lame then I feel pity for you. As for being something that "won't help you," if you really are involved, then it definitely will help you because you will have concrete accomplishments to point to. Some honors/awards/memberships "help you" by virtue of their reputation, built up by virtue of their selectivity, their strict criteria for admission, etc. The Innocents at Nebraska would be something along those lines, as are many of the award societies in high schools like NHS, Mu Alpha Theta, Quill & Scroll, Cum Laude, etc.
That's not what NSCS is about - how valuable and worthwhile it is, how much it "helps you," is largely based on how much you put into it. In that regard, it's not much different from the Key Club in high school. If you were a member of the Key Club and paid your dues for it but didn't actually do anything, it will be just one more line on your resume or application. If you actually participated in activities and accomplished things, though, that line will have much more weight and substance behind it.
