Seven Ranges: MADE IN AMERICA.

The journey to ? A long, worthwhile adventure that starts with a single step.

-The first campout.
-The first time reading the and (then, we memorize these).
-The first service project.
-The first (or the Bobcat Badge for Cub Scouts grown to Eagle).
-The first time leading a patrol.
-The first service project.

…And every single moment a Scout realizes: “Hey, I can do hard things! I’m stronger than I think!”

New Harris Poll research shows those moments matter long after youth membership in ends. Once an Eagle, always an Eagle – and Eagle Scouts report higher purpose, stronger well-being, more leadership experience and greater civic engagement than non-Scouts.

This study isn’t simply data or stats – it represents real young people, real families, real changed lives and real good things when it comes to both the short-term and long-term effects of becoming an Eagle Scout. The study also compares youth involved in Scouting versus those outside of it.

Curious what else The Harris Poll found? Explore our interactive webpage and download a copy of the full study for free: https://ow.ly/r4mY50Z9t71. For the full press release, visit Scouting Newsroom: https://ow.ly/6juX50Z9t70.

We are nowhere near done telling this story. From interviews to videos, more Eagle-Scout focused content related to this is coming soon – so stay tuned.

P.S. – If this post and/or the study resonates with you – and you would like to share your (or your family’s) story – we ask that you reach out to us at [email protected]. We are looking to hear from Eagle Scouts of all ages, backgrounds, career fields, etc., to tell us how Scouting impacted them and their lives. If you are under 18, CC a trusted parent or adult.

Our pack did something special late last year- our scouts created a section of quilt for Visit Williamsburg’s “America 250 Birthday Quilt” while none of us were able to make the unveiling, we found our piece in one of the videos!

Our Cub Scouts focused on the National Parks, and got to learn a little bit more about each of them before picking one to use as inspiration!

I wonder if anyone else in Buckeye Council joined in the quilting fun?

A big shout out to the volunteers in Buckeye Council who are making this happen - both trainers and those ready to be trained!

Pack 257 will be there, because we pride ourselves on having well trained leaders.
