I’m an Eagle Scout; I achieved this slightly before I started working on StarQuest. The main things that I learned from this were:
How to look out for the people that you’re responsible for (as a patrol leader)
How to see through something that’s difficult - the last 1% is usually as difficult as the first 99%.
How to jump through arbitrary hoops for a sufficiently valuable reward.
This is the fence that I built as my Eagle project. The fence is still in use today, though I think they spray-painted over my nice Christmas colors. It’s a shame, because that painting was by far the most difficult part.
