The Boy Scouts of America will prepare every eligible youth in America to become a responsible, participating citizen and leader who is guided by the Scout Oath and Law. Studies show those who complete the Trail to Eagle live up to that vision. According to a
study by Baylor University and Gallup, Eagles Scouts - compared to those who never achieved that rank and those who never joined Scouting - are significantly more likely to:
- Exhibit higher levels of participation in a variety of health and recreational activities
- Show a greater connection to siblings, neighbors, religious community, friends, coworkers, formal and informal groups and a spiritual presence in nature
- Share a greater belief in duty to God, service to others, service to the community and leadership
- Engage in behaviors that are designed to enhance and protect the environment
- Be committed to setting and achieving personal, professional, spiritual and financial goals
- Show higher levels of planning and preparedness
