West Point is harder to get into than Harvard.
West Point requires a great GPA, great SAT, and LEADERSHIP in school clubs. participating in school clubs is not enough. The eagle scout is a very prestigious award, and props to you for that.
Additionally, West Point requires you to pass a physical exam. If you cannot do a certain number of pushups, pullups, sprinting, etc., you will not get in. you also need a recommendation from a congressman in your state.
I would say no.

You need to get a recommendation from your Congressman. So, pull all the strings you can to get to meet him (or her) and be sure to make a great impression.
Also, you need to be in perfect health. One of my son's friends was accepted at AF Acad and then they found out he had been treated for some very minor back problem when he was in Jr HS. They withdrew the acceptance. He was screwed because he had withdrawn all his other applications for good colleges and there he was in May with no college acceptances. We did find him a spot in a good college - but he had no financial aid and if he had applied earlier he probably would have.
So, if you have ANY health issues make sure they know about them up front in case they are disqualifying. Better to get turned down than to get accepted and then withdrawn.

Odds of stepping into between the colleges are good, even with the very shown actuality that it always relies upon upon the contest. you would attempt searching into Boy Scout scholarships and word if that can help. My husband were given a scholarship for being an Eagle Scout various years in the past.

First you need to apply for a nomination from your congressman, senator or the VP.
Read the web page for the service academy.
If you play football, this will be a plus.

I would think so - but you might try to take ROTC as well.
Good Luck!!!

it all depends on what your application looks like...
