<p>mariopuzo I agree with you. The Big name private schools (Ivies and Little Ivies, etc) do not seem to recognize the Eagle Scout as an accomblishment that shins brighter. The point where the Eagle award seems to stand tall is with the schools that are looking for the individual who has a solid rounded background.</p>
<p>If a child has made it to Life Scout, it would be unfortunate not to continue on to Eagle for the personal accomplishment and the LIFETIME HONOR. With college admissions being such a goofy and unpredictable “game”, no one can take away the lifetime success of receiving an Eagle Scout award. The day may come when that honor will have greater meaning then the college the student attended.</p>
