“NY Boy Scout earns all 121 merit badges, rare feat [with picture]”

Boy, the girls will be falling all over themselves for him after this news, lol.

But serious, that is a great thing to see in Americas youth. Set a positive goal and then work at it until you reach it. He’s a roll model for young men everywhere.

It's fascinating how many former Eagle Scouts, CAP Cadets, etc. are to be found in high level position in business, government, etc.

Whether youth leadership programs lead towards success or simply are vehicles for individuals already on the fast-track isn't clear to me.

I'd encourage any young person to be involved in that sort of thing. Junior Achievement is another breeding ground.
