My son A.J. finished his Eagle Scout project today: construction and
installation of the Stations of the Cross on the grounds of Cardinal Ritter
High School (his alma mater) and St. Michael's Catholic Church here in
Indianapolis.

(Note to non-Catholics: the Stations of the Cross is a devotional intended to
encourage meditation on the sufferings and death of Jesus Christ. It consists
of fourteen icons depicting various events during His Passion, beginning with
his condemnation by Pilate, leading up to and ending with his body being laid
in the tomb.)

Thanks, Ed.

When he was a Cub Scout, his den and a few others took a field trip to the
Marshall Space Center in Huntsville AL. One sentence from their welcoming
program for the Scouts has stuck with me: "Every footprint on the moon was
left there by an Eagle Scout."

I think the research /has/ been done. I remember seeing some interesting
statistics, but it pre-dated the Internet and I can't remember the source.

You might find

interesting, even though far from complete (my father, for example, is
not listed - but I still have his merit badge sash and Eagle Scout pin).

I did see some information years ago. Many of our great achievers in this
country were Eagle Scouts.
http://www.scoutorama.com/eagle/eag_famous.cfm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...uts_of_America)


Another list; nine out of ten is not bad
This is a list of the top 10 most influential people who received the Eagle
Scout award. (This list is in no particular order)


1. Gerald Ford, 38th President of the U.S.
2. Michael F. Moore, Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker
3. Neil Armstrong, First man on the moon
4. James Lovell - Astronaut
5. Steven Spielberg, Film Director/Producer
6. William C. DeVries, M.D., Transplanted first artificial heart
7. J. Willard Marriott, Jr., President, Marriott Corporation
8. Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City
9. Bill Gates, Sr., CEO of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, father
of Microsoft founder Bill Gates
10. Mike Rowe, Host of "Dirty Jobs" on the Discovery Channel

I can't comment for other folks. But, I really love the
other churches. They get people spiritually aware, so the
people can recognize the Spirit.

And, congrats on your son's achievement.

I've never met a Catholic who "cried all day with endless guilt". I don't
know where people get the idea that Catholics are on some kind of guilt
trip--few of them that I have ever met are.

You make snide remarks about electric misconceptions, I thought I'd
return the favor by pointing out how idiotic your beliefs are in another
arena. I'm not the least bit "unsure" of the stupidity of catholicism,
mormonism, judaism, or any of the rest of them.

However, I attained Life Scout, Order of the Arrow, and Senior Patrol
Leader of my troop, so I'm not dissing scouting at all.

A quick look at Wikipedia casts doubt on that. Wiki would love the
corrections if you've got them.
I checked mostly because I didn't think a dozen astronauts had walked
on the moon-- then once I was there. . . .

Armstrong & Duke -Eagle
Mitchell & Scott - Life

No mention of scouting-
Aldrin, Conrad, Bean, Shepard, Irwin, Young, Cernan, Schmitt

I don't doubt that a lot of Eagle scouts have done well. There are a
couple million of them, more or less, so it is likely that lots of
them did well. [chances are that as a cross section of society, they
counted among the more privileged class so we should expect them to do
better than average]

But how do they rate against their peers? It would take a real
effort to sort them out, take a sample and compare their futures-- but
if we're just going to cite random scouts-- I've known 3 in my life.
1 was a good man, though outside of scouting you wouldn't call him
remarkable.

2 others were not. They didn't do as poorly as Eagle scouts Lee
Harvey Oswald, or serial killer scouts Robinson & Whitman, - but they
were general ne'er do wells.

My son is two-for-two there -- and wanted to attend the Naval Academy.
He applied and was admitted, pending Congressional nomination. He applied for,
and received, a full-ride NROTC scholarship to the university of his choice.
Unfortunately, he was DQed from both on medical grounds. He's healthy as a
horse, with one exception: an anaphylactic allergic reaction to shellfish.
