It Looks Good on a Resume

I've been very fortunate to be a part of a large number of Eagle Scout Board of Reviews.  I love all of the questions and especially the answers from the Scouts.

One question that always seems to come up and it is a good one.  "Why do you want to be an Eagle Scout?"  "It looks good on a resume" is a very common reply.  So now, as an adult you have to ask more questions and dig a little deeper.  They all know the answer; sometimes you just have to drag it out of them.  

Thankfully, a lot of employers know the answer too.

Please read this article from a recent 'Scouting Magazine'.

My son Will, who is an Eagle Scout, graduated from college on Saturday and stated working here on Sunday in Lexington, KY.

It does look good on a resume.  Thank you Bill Marriott for reminding us why!
