    Started out as a tiger scout when i was like 5 and did my eagle scout project when I was 14. Took a break for a few years and right before I was 18(the limit to get an eagle scout I finished my last few badges I needed.
    -
    Its interesting as both jobs I had/have I got the interview after applying because I wrote down I was an Eagle Scout. Qualifications are good for work I learned.

    I started as a Cub Scout at the age of eight (there was no program at the time for younger boys) and ultimately worked my way to Eagle. (I had my Eagle board of review just four days before my 18th birthday (the normal age limit for getting one's Eagle). After I turned 18, I didn't have much opportunity to be involved in the Scouting program until I moved to my present place of residence (a period of almost two decades) where I have once again become active in the program. This time as an adult leader.

    I was in the Cub Scouts for one year. I joined the Weeblos the next year and quit after 2 or 3 meetings. The Weeblos leader had the meetings in his basement and we did nothing but listen to his son brag about his toys.

    I started as a Tiger Cub in 1st grade and went through Eagle Scout in high school. Now I am a volunteer for my local district and have served as district aquatics director in the past. Overall I have spent 16 years active with the BSA out of my total 25 years.

    I was a Girl Scout. Back then, there wasn't any group before Brownies.

    I was a Brownie, Junior, Cadet and a Senior.

    But I quit after I became a Senior scout, and I don't remember if it goes any further.

    I joined as a brownie in 1st or 2nd grade, and made it through as a Senior scout earning my gold award in the 12th grade. I miss those days... I just started my own troop this year. It's great to be back!

    Went from Brownie (Pre-Daisy time), Junior, Cadette and landed without a Senior Troop in the dumps.

    Now I am a lifetime member or "Lifelong Scout" and have volunteered at the National Convention this year.

    I was a Brownie...then I moved, and the club there was lame. So I joined a 4-H group instead...and was elected president. :)

    I was a "spark" when I was five, and a "brownie" after that...I think I quit when I was about nine. I became far too cool for that nonsense. ;)

    Yep... Started as a Cub Scout... Was one for (I think) 4 years or so. Mom was Den Mother one year.

    Then I was a Boy Scout for about 3 or 4 years. Got six merit badges, I believe - Canoeing, Rowing, Swimming, Lifesaving, Conservation (I think), and can't remember the other one.

    Hell, I'm still a Boy Scout in some ways... Trustworthy, Loyal, Friendly, Curteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent. (Well, most of those), and I try to Be Prepared for almost anything. ;-)
