Scouting's Bottom Line


 
What happens to a Scout? For every 100 boys who join Scouting,


records indicate that:


 
- RARELY will one be brought before the juvenile court system


 
- 2 will become Eagle Scouts


 
- 17 will become future Scout volunteers


 
- 12 will have their first contact with a church


 
- 1 will enter the clergy


 
- 5 will earn their church award


 
- 18 will develop a hobby that will last through their adult 


  life


 
- 8 will enter a vocation that was learned through the merit 


  badge system


 
- 1 will use his Scouting skills to save his own life


 
- 1 will use his Scouting skills to save the life of another 


  person

wide survey of high schools revealed the following information:


 
- 85% of student council presidents were Scouts


- 89% of senior class presidents were Scouts


- 80% of junior class presidents were Scouts


- 75% of school publication editors were Scouts

- 70% of Annapolis graduates


- 72% of Rhodes Scholars


- 85% of F.B.I. agents


- 26 of the first 29 astronauts
