The
importance of the Eagle Scout award is more than just having a pin a scouter
can wear on his lapel or an accomplishment he can add to his resume. Studies have shown the impact of completing
the requirements for an Eagle Scout award include the following:
·
Eagle
Scouts exhibit an increased tendency to participate in a variety of health
and recreational activities.
·
Eagle
Scouts show a greater connectedness to siblings, neighbors, religious
community, friends, co-workers, formal and informal groups, and
a spiritual presence in nature.
·
Duty to
God, service to others, service to the community, and leadership are
traits especially strong in Eagle Scouts.
·
Eagle
Scouts are more likely to engage in behaviors designed to enhance and
protect the environment.
·
Eagle
Scouts are more likely to be committed to setting and achieving personal,
professional, spiritual, and financial goals.
·
Eagle
Scouts show a higher propensity toward planning and preparedness than do
other scouts and non-Scouts.
·
Eagle
Scouts are more likely than other Scouts and non-Scouts to recognize they have
built character traits related to work ethics, morality, tolerance,
and respect for diversity.
Congratulations on your accomplishment, Matthew. It is another step toward your successful future.
