it's like trying out for the Olympics team because you have a pair of Nike shoes. I had to write an essay to get my eagle and I never did it, I've never put it on a resume. and never been asked. one of my friends from scouts is a big business man, eagle and is a dishonest weasel, as a man just try and do a good job, be honest, be truthful. let the thing you learned as a kid make you stronger but don't mention it. it was for yourself not them that you did it.

I have an MBA and a very impressive record in my field. I am almost 40 and in every interview I have ever been in people still want to discuss my scout status.
You cannot rest on you laurels. Use the values you learned and used attaining your Eagle status and you will excel in the business world.

I do quite a bit of hiring, and I can tell you that I usually notice the Eagle on a resume. It represents success in a significant endeavor with a large amount of dedication.
As said earlier, it's not enough by itself, but as a piece of a pattern of success, it's likely to get you an interview, all other things being equal.

I have always listed it on my Resume (I earned min in 1975) and it usually gets a positive comment.
It is most useful on your first job- it really helps offset a lack of experience.
After that- it is like getting good grades in school. Really nice, but not as important as your current track record.
