you could ask around the mods who deleted the post, if it was that, or not. Right now, I have no idea if it happened or not.
We'll have to wait and see for an investigation into what happened. I can't tell. As of right now your membership application is going to be put on hold for now. I'm sorry but we have to know before we accept you into the NGDD.
Trust me, there are a bunch of reasons for staying. Obviously, there are the college and job benefits of Eagle rank, and I wouldn't have met half my friends and most of my once in a lifetime experiences if it wasn't for Boy Scout
I totally agree. I went to summer camp for 5 years and then was a summer camp counselor at the same camp for two years after. That's 7 years total at summer camp. I grew up there basically. All once in a lifetime opportunities.
For those of you who don't understand the reputation of an Eagle Scout because you haven't graduated high school yet - Eagle Scout is the way to go. Colleges would murder, rape, and pillage to get a hold of an Eagle. I wish I stuck with it when I was a kid. A guy from my high school got into Annapolis Naval Academy because he was an ES. He wasn't the most athletic person you've ever seen and his grades weren't top of the ladder, but they were good enough.
I say you stick with it Thing, being an ES is something that will benefit you in life for a much longer time than you'll realize.
