My DH is an Eagle Scout and he said it opened a lot of doors for him career wise.[/quote]

Congratulations to your son. He did a lot of work getting where he is. My late DH and both his brothers were all Eagle, and all were Scoutmasters. Our son worked hard with his best buddies to make Eagle. He is a go getter, as a couple of others were.
DH said often that should he get resumes from more than one young man for a job and all were more or less the same education, he would pick the one with the Eagle badge, since he knew that young man could stick to one goal and work till he had accomplished that job.
