Very excited to see a scouting thread! I grew up with scouting from cub scouts to Eagle and Vigil in OA.

The biggest thing my scouting experience gave me was the opportunity to interact with a bigger group of kids my age. I went to a private school and was part of sports I wasn't good at which lead to me not fitting in.

Having a bunch of shared experiences with other guys helped me grow socially and have a place among the group.

For the eagle scouts in the thread: did/do you put your rank on your resume? Was it pointed out during your interview? When I was going through scouting, the adults made it seem like it was an "instant job offer" card. I keep mine on there because I want to, but don't feel like anyone knows what it is.

Edit: Or to those who hire folks, if you saw it would it sway you to hire/offer an interview?

My troop's church had a big parking lot that was prime real estate during our city's summer festival days.

That was our largest source of income and we too, thankfully, didn't need to depend on the popcorn. Annually hit up the usual aunt, uncles, and family friends and didn't have to knock on doors.
