asm 411 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Just goes to show that advancement is only one of the eight methods we use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stosh Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I was surprised that in my company which is a multi-billion dollar, international company, it has a large number of Eagle Scouts working in management, especially the engineering department. When they find out in casual conversation that I'm a SM and CA, I get the Eagle response quite frequently, that even after many years later, they still find it easy to mention it to other fellow scouters.

Trevorum Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 asm411 raises an interesting and valid point. However, the FOX article highlights the popular perception that BSA is primarily about competitive advancement. The other methods get lost in the media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
