As an Eagle Scout in high school I never mentioned it because it was ridiculed.  During my Soph year I was selected for a special Eagle society and I mentioned my reluctance.  Most of the others were shocked.  Seems where they went to school Eagle rank was respected.  I guess it's where you are and when, and how badly you want to fit in.

Tly.
Congratulations, ferrari!  Being an Eagle Scout is, indeed, something of which to be proud.  Anywhere.

Thanks, 76.  Maybe I ought to dig out my medal and start wearing it.

My Eagle medal was buried with my Dad.  I now proudly wear a pin such as those available here:

Bringing this somewhat back on topic, the current football roster includes at least three Eagle Scouts: Lloyd, Okereke, and Ukropina.

Geaux Cardinal!

My three brothers also earned Eagle, as did my nephew.  His Court of Honor was held posthumously.
