Another Eagle Scout here. But not much interested in it lately because of all the negativity with them not allowing certain groups into scouting. There was a national story not too long ago about the Scouts not allowing anyone who did not believe in God to join. I was always taught to believe in a higher power, it was up to the individual to interpret that as they wanted.
But as far as the good things that scouting gave me, confidence, the ability to survive for the most part on the land, appreciation of nature, leadership qualities, and the feeling that if I work hard to achieve something it will happen. Eagle scout was the first treal thing I had to work at and accomplished. Besides all the hiking and camping and boating and such was a lot of fun!!!
